  Hi there,

  I’ve been trying to use a domain with my wordpress
  blog. I own this domain on namecheap, but every time I try to go
  through the flow to map it on wordpress, it has me attempting to
  *register* the domain. But then the last step fails because the domain
  is already registered on namecheap. Any thoughts on how I should
  proceed?

  Thanks!

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

  Are you choosing “map an existing domain” rather than “add a new domain”?

  Figured it out. I was choosing “map an existing domain” but I had already added it to my cart earlier by selecting “add a new domain”. Turns out if you try to map an existing domain with “add a new domain” in your cart, the “add a new domain” purchase will override it.

  Glad you got it sorted out.
