  I have had a domain and a site for years with GD.com. I also had a free account with wordpress. Recently I tried to direct my renew domain to the wordpress account with limited success. The problem is that no wp-admin is available in my wordpress site. Any idea?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are you trying to use a domain name registered elsewhere with your WordPress.com site? If so, you need to follow these instructions:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.

  It´s a start, but I´m not there yet…

  My oldest Wp account artefactosuribe/wordpress.com is the one that does not have wp-admin access. This account is a keeper.

  Six weeks ago I created atucnc/wordpress.com and directed there my artefactosuribe.com domain(purchased at GD). This may be confuse my blog followers… and besides I want to keep my original WP site.

  Recently I created artifactsuribe/wordpress.com in order to absorb lost in space members of the public …. but, I want to keep things simple.
  That is: artefactosuribe/wordpress.com, available with a artefactosuribe.com domain(GD) hosted by hostgator.
  Thanks for a bullseye input that contributes to solve this issue.

  Forgot to mention that no points are gain by directing my GD domain (artefactosuribe.com to artefactosuribe/wordpress.com) to a site with no wp-admin capability…..

  My oldest Wp account artefactosuribe/wordpress.com is the one that does not have wp-admin access.

  Are you referring to this site – https://artifactsuribe.wordpress.com? You can access wp-admin for this site here:

  https://artifactsuribe.wordpress.com/wp-admin

  However most things can be done in the new Dashboard. For instance, if you’d like to map a domain to this blog, go to:

  https://wordpress.com/domains/add/artifactsuribe.wordpress.com

  You’ll need to upgrade to our Premium plan first.

  Does that help?
