What steps can be taken to connect the new A records for Webflow when the old Wordpress site is still live?

To connect the new A records for Webflow when the old WordPress site is still live, you need to follow these steps:

1. Obtain the DNS records: Log in to your Webflow account and go to the "Hosting" tab. Here you will find the DNS records provided by Webflow.

2. Copy the A records: Look for the A records specifically. They will typically be labeled as "@", "www", or both. Copy the IP addresses associated with these A records. You will need these to update your domain's DNS settings.

3. Access your domain registrar: Go to the website of the company where you registered your domain. Log in to your account and locate the DNS settings or DNS management section.

4. Update the A records: Look for the A record settings for your domain. Delete any existing A records pointing to your old WordPress site.

5. Add the Webflow A records: Create new A records with the IP addresses you copied from Webflow's hosting settings. If there is an "www" A record, make sure to include it as well.

6. Save changes and wait for propagation: Save your changes in the DNS settings and allow some time for the changes to propagate across the internet. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.

7. Test the connection: Once the propagation is complete, open a web browser and enter your domain name. If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new Webflow site.

8. Monitor the old WordPress site: Keep an eye on your old WordPress site to ensure that visitors are gradually being redirected to your new Webflow site. Monitor the traffic and gradually turn off any remaining plugins or features on the old site as necessary.
