  Hello
  I have been working on my site ohblogger.com, which originally set up in Wix.
  Now i want to use wordpress instead and now i have transferred the webhotel to simply.com.

  Now i just need to know how I can change odderhojskoleblog.wordpress.com to ohblogger.com which I own?

  I also get this message, when I try:

  Transfer your domain
  ohblogger.com can’t be transferred due to a transfer lock at the registry, but you can connect it instead.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hey there! Transferring is a great option, but if you the domain is locked for a while, you can connect it instead. Here’s how:

  If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Once you complete the steps below, instead of your site address being something like yourgroovysite.wordpress.com, your site’s address will be something like yourgroovydomain.com. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and use it to show

  That’s included with all of our paid plans, so you’re welcome to start with Personal for now, or get Premium for chat support. Then in sixty days when your domain can be unlocked, you’d be welcome to transfer the registration here as well.

  If you need any help getting the site set up to your liking, let us know!
