  Hello, to map your domain to WordPress.com you need to update your domain’s name servers. Did you buy your domain from Wix or not?

  If you did, then unfortunately Wix will not allow you to update your domain’s name servers.

  Wix’s support doc on that:
  http://www.wix.com/support/html5/article/adding-dns-records-in-your-wix-account

  An option would be to transfer your domain to another registrar. Here’s Wix’s support page on how to do that: http://www.wix.com/support/html5/article/transferring-your-wix-domain-away-from-wix-2477749

  Any of the domain registrars here would be acceptable: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-common-domain-providers.

  Once the transfer has been completed, follow this step-by-step guide on how to connect your domain to your WordPress.com site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Now you can change the name servers of your domain at the new registrar.

  If you registered your domain somewhere else (not Wix), then directly follow the guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  FAQ: Can you transfer it (your domain) over to WordPress.com?
  – Not right now since WordPress.com does not accept transferring domains to them.

  It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=pgrsolutionscanada.com

  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

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions!
