  Hi
  I’m trying to connnect a domain to my WordPress Account, but it keeps saying: ‘Domain cannot be mapped to a WordPress.com blog because of blacklisted term.’
  What does this mean, and how can i change that?
  The domain is not not bought from WordPress.

  -Lawek

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

  Hi there,

  What is the domain you’re trying to connect?

  If your domain name includes any special characters, or is using punycode in place of special characters, you won’t be able to map it to WordPress.com as we don’t support internationalized domain names at this time.

  Hi

  The domain is henrikfølbæk.dk, but i tried using the punycode, but that didn’t work either. So there is no way i can configure an internationalized domain name?

  I’m afraid there’s no way you’ll currently be able to map that domain to a site hosted on WordPress.com, no. We might implement this in future, but it’s not something we’re currently working on.
