You will want to log in to GoDaddy.

Once you are logged in, you will see your .co.uk address. Click on it.

On the left side of this page, you will see Domain Information. Under Domain Information, you will see the word "Forwarding" which will say :off.

Click on "manage" by the Forwarding. The tab that says forwarding should come up. Put your .com address there, and hit the dot that says Permanent. There is a note near the OK button that you will have to follow, too.

Good luck.

Ok thats done, the note is Note:

When you enable forwarding and masking, you must manually update your nameservers to the Parked/Forwarded Nameservers before forwarding can take effect. To update your nameservers, click the Nameservers button in the action bar above after you have completed the forwarding and masking task.

Not so far... it asks if I want to edit it.

Edited to add, it comes up Wix.com in the tab at the top of the browser, but still .co.uk in the address line, and asks me to edit it.

I clicked your .co.uk link and got the following

Trying to connect your domain to your Wix site?

You're almost done! However, you need to update your URL:

Step 1. Please open your Wix site in the editor

Step 2. Go to Settings > Edit URL

Step 3. Retype your URL and click Apply

It will update instantly, though you may have to clear your cache.

Hope this helps

Cheers

I have a .com .co.uk & .biz all going to the same web site.

I only had to change fowarding settings on the new adresses and use an option to tell them to display fowarding address or not

Right,

I re read your OP.

You must have your .com fowarding to wix. So now you need to foward the .co.uk to the .com without needing to touch the wix site.

Try that
