  Hi, I am trying to switch from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. I have set up a domain with name cheap and have downloaded wordpress. WordPress has then done some domain mapping on my behalf but now I can’t log in to wordpress.org and therefore cannot access or alter my website.

  WordPress have suggested clearing my cache cookies which I have done but still whenever I want to see my website it comes up with error due to domain mapping.

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