There is no domain mapping upgrade for lyvennet.com.
What is the URL of the .com domain that you want to map to from http://lyvennetdotcom.wordpress.com/ please?In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
but you have given me ‘dotcom’ and also it has ‘.wordpress.com’ at the end I just wanted .com
That happened for one of three reasons;
1. You failed to register a .wordpress.com blog URL to map to from the domain;
2. You tried to register a .wordpress.com domain URL that already existed;
3. You tried to map to a .wordpress.COM URL that has been deleted like this one https://lyvennet.wordpress.com/When one of those three happens the software provides the http://…..wordpress.com URL because if it did not exist you would have no URL to map to the domain URL from.
All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the new domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the new domain URLs.

https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/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.
