  Hi there,

  I purchased the domain name http://www.wanderworker.com from crazy domains here in Australia, I have tried to change my domain to this for blog name http://wanderworkerdotcom.wordpress.com but it is saying to me that the domain is already mapped?

  Can you please let me know what I need to do to change my blog to the URL domain I have registered?

  Cheers
  Sam

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

  Did you buy the domain mapping upgrade for that blog? You will need to, in order to map it to your WP.com blog.

  Hi Raincoaster,

  Thanks for that :) I bought the premium package from the outset which I believe includes it. Initially I thought I bought the domain through wordpress, but I checked what I had paid for and it did not appear to go through on the transaction (I just paid for the premium, so I probably clicked the wrong thing).
  Either way, I then registered the domain myself (with DNS Hosting) and came back to word press to map it, and it is saying it is already mapped.

  Any other ideas – thank you in advance for the help!
  Sam
