Blogger comments disappear after switching to custom URL

blogger

I recently switched to a custom URL instead of a *.blogspot.com URL, but now all the comments from my posts are gone. How can I get them back?

Update: I've been waiting several days weeks and they haven't shown up yet.

I'm not sure exactly which of these caused it to work, but recently I made several changes:

  • I transferred the blog ownership from a Gmail account to a Google Apps Account on the same domain.
  • Instead of forwarding the naked subdomain with a CNAME record to ghs.google.com, I switched it to use a 301 redirect from the naked subdomain to www.
  • I added MX records to the naked subdomain and started using Google Apps Mail.

... and then suddenly all my comments appeared again. It has been about 3 weeks since they first disappeared.
