  I had previously purchased my own URL “likeafishinwater.com” through WordPress and mapped to my blog. I’ve transferred domain registration to my new host and linked it to the new site. I want to keep the old blog intact as backup/reference, but redirect the URL so that search engines won’t index the old site. Receiving message “A domain mapping already exists for that host. You do not need to buy a site redirect if you already have a domain mapping.” when I try to setup the redirect. Can you help clear out the old mapping or whatever else is needed to allow it to go through?

  Hi there,

  I’ve gone ahead and removed that mapping for you. You should be able to purchase the redirect now with no issues!

  I apologize for any inconvenience this may have brought for you!
