  Hello, I have a custom domain, say abcd.com
  and it pops up abcdefg.wordpress.com

  But I want to show one of another blogs, for example zxcv.wordpress.com instead of abcdefg.wordpress.com

  How can I do that?
  I did a little research but I found nothing helpful.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase upgrades for the blog.

  See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  Thank you for the reply.
  I already purchased one from wordpress and have my custom domain.
  The thing is that it seems to only be mapped to the blog that I initially set.
  Am I missing something?
  Thanks!

  Every domain mapping upgrade is an individual upgrade for a single .wordpress.com blog.

  Are you expecting to have another .wordpress.com blog map to that same domain URL?

  Are you asking for Staff to move the domain mapping to another .wordpress.COM URL?

  What are the exact URLs please?

  Yes, I may have to ask Staff to move the domain mapping to another wordpress.com

  The url is inseokheo.com
  It is mapped to one of my blog, iheo.wordpress.com
  But I want to map to another blog – inseokheo.wordpress.com

  Should I ask to staff to do this?

  Thanks!

  I tagged this thread for Staff to move the upgrade for you. Please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there,

  OK, you’re all set! The domain mapping has been changed over. Let me know if there’s anything else that you need!
