  I’m trying to add the domain ‘Refractioneffect.com’ to earlegrey.wordpress.com. I can’t find any documentation or anything telling me what to point my names towards in the DNS. Some assistance would be appreciated.

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

  The domain already points to the same place as https://earlegrey.wordpress.com, so that’s already done right? Unless I’m misunderstanding the issue.

  Sorry, to clarify I’m trying to make the refractioneffect.com (bought through WordPress) the primary domain instead of earlegrey.wordpress.com and I’m told to change the name servers to connect to WordPress with the domain because it gives me the warning “(!) DNS configuration required <u>FIX</u>”

  Nameservers that I know of are:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  This is usually required when mapping an existing domain name to WordPress.com. Looks like your current domain is set to GoDaddy’s defaults (ns*.domaincontrol.com) so if you just recently registered the domain name, as opposed to mapping an existing one, it could just take a little time.

  Hope that makes sense. :)

  Hi there,

  The domain you mention is mapped by the username, zmadhatter, so only that username can make changes to the domain on our end.

  You can find detailed instructions on mapping a domain to WordPress.com here, including a link to GoDaddy’s instructions on how to update the name servers:
