  Hi,

  I recently purchased a new domain for my wordpress blog via the upgrades section. However, it seem to have worked? The money has left my account but nothing has changed regarding the domain name of my blog?

  Anyone got any ideas? I thought it would show up on the ‘domains’ page, but it doesn’t. Am I doing something wrong or is this WordPress’ fault?

  Thanks in advance,

  James

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

  Hi James. What is the domain name that you purchased?

  Remember that domain name changes can take from 24-72 hours to reflect everywhere around the world, and that unless you set your new domain name as your “Primary domain”, your __.wordpress.com address will remain unchanged:
