Help with Pointing Pages from Domain to x10

[postcry2]

Hi! This is a follow up to a post from a few days ago. I can access my website (postcrypt.space) which shows the homepage for postcrypt.x10host.com but when I go to the sub-links, it just directs to the x10 link. I tried changing my URL in wordpress but that just makes it entirely unusable. What do I do?

Hmm... postcrypt.space seems to redirect straight to postcrypt.x10host.com

was that supposed to happen?

That's because of the "Site URL" setting in WordPress, which (among other things) changes the .htaccess file to redirect to the URL you have set. Setting the site URL correctly is the right answer - if there are any other problems, we'd need to see what WordPress is serving with it set correctly.

When I change my site url, neither the x10 link nor the postcrypt.space link works. I can only access the backend.

That's probably a problem to take up with the good folks over at WordPress.org then - does their code allow for more than three letters in a top-level domain? Programmers make assumptions all the time that they really shouldn't be making, and TLDs were maximum 3 characters for a very, very long time.
