Can’t purchase domain mapping upgrade

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello all,

    I can’t seem to find where I purchase credits for domain mapping.

    I already own http://www.sircraftalot.com and I’ve tried mapping using WordPress’s IP number.

    I then realized I have to purchase credits first.

    I have tried My Dashboard>Settings>Domains and I don’t see where I purchase the credits. All I get is where I enter the domain name… and I’ve tried to enter my domain name, wait 72 hours, and still get “Page not found”.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much!

    Someone said that they disabled the domain mapping thing over the weekend. Support will open up in a couple of hours. Wait until then.

    In the meantime – check out this FAQ in case you haven’t seen it http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/10/domain-mapping/

    hi

    I have a domain http://www.roselyngallery.co.za, the host assures me the server is pointing to wordpress.com, and I have left it for loads of hours and I still get the same message when I try upgrade (as below). Please help!

    Domains
    Credits

    Domain mapping is available for 10 credits per domain per year, registration not included. You have 0.00 credits. You will have to purchase additional credits via PayPal. Note that some forms of payment (eChecks) may take several days to process.
    Possible problem with roselyngallery.co.za

    We were unable to verify that roselyngallery.co.za is pointing to WordPress.com. If you own this domain, follow the directions below to get it ready for your blog. If you don’t own it, try a different name to see if something else is available. If the domain is available, you may be able to register it with another registrar and then map it to your blog.
    How to fix it

    Using the DNS tools provided by your domain registrar, remove any existing nameservers and add the following:

    * NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    * NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    * NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    Then come back here and try again. It may take several hours for our system to recognize the changes.
    If all else fails

    If you need help, or if your registrar recommends a different solution, please contact support via the Feedback link at the top right of this page. We will help you sort it out.

    roselyngallery – the answer is at the bottom of what you pasted – contact support. Volunteers in the forum can’t help you.

    Hey Sircraftalot, I just posted this same question in another section, but I’ll let you know if I find the answer. It’s gotta be disabled because it should be listed right there with the rest of the upgrades you can purchases…

    thanks vivian, but as I said above “I hit support and it prompts me to ask question to the FAQ’s…”

    You need to be asking when Support is open. That won’t be for another eight hours now.

    Hey SirCraftALot,

    I would go back and make sure your nameserver changes went through correctly. My changes were still process this morning, but its all fixed now and the changes went through in less than 5 minutes. Then I tried it again and it took me to the page where I can buy the credits. So, it wasn’t a wordpress problem…I’m just an idiot. ; )
