  Hi I have a DNS: http://www.reefcentral.pt and I paid to wordpress to mapping my reefcentral.wordpress.com to reefcentral.pt.
  In my DNS Server I placed:
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
  Before it was:
  NS2.AMENWORLD.COM
  NS1.AMENWORLD.COM

  So I pointed now my domain to your servers but when I try to finalize the mapping it says that it is still not pointing to the wordpress servers. Should I wait or I should be worried about this. Because if i try to ping reefcentral.pt I think it is allready pointing to your servers.

  Thanks.

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

  I added a new DNS Zone record for your domain. This change may take a little while to be fully effective. Could you give it some time then try updating the name servers again?

  You can go to Store > Domains on your blog’s dashboard and follow the steps there.

  Please take a look at the following guide before going through the process.

  Let us know if you need any help.

  Some nameservers are still pointed to a different servers. Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Note that it might take up to 48 hours before the DNS are fully propagated.

  I already made that and it’s ok.
  Now inside my wordpress control panel (store -> domain-> reefcentral.pt) in the section:
  This form allows you to add DNS records for this domain. The standard records that make your blog work are not shown. You can enter DNS records in the format described briefly at the bottom of this page. For more details, please see our Support page.
  https://reefcentral.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&action=dnsedit&domain=reefcentral.pt

  I placed there a subdomain this ways and saved:
  A arduino 178.238.226.113

  The problem is that when I type on the browser arduino.reefcentral.pt it redirects me to reefcentral.pt instead of going to: 178.238.226.113
