  Hello,

  So, I want to switch my domain on my existing blog to a new one. I have purchased the domain mapping upgrade for the blog to map my current domain dekcuf.com. I want to change the site name to dekuf.com and therefore bought that domain but when I tried to map it to my blog it prompted me to purchase the domain mapping upgrade again.

  Do I really have to purchase the domain mapping upgrade every time I want to ad a new domain? That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

  Please let me know what can be done to resolve this issue.

  Thank you!

  Hi Steve, it looks like you’ve already mapped the domain to your site correctly and I can see your WordPress.com site here: http://dekcuf.com/

  Just let me know if you still needed help with anything.

  Hi,

  First off, thanks for response and help, it’s very appreciated!

  I understand that my blog is currently mapped to http://dekcuf.com. What I want to do is re-map my site to http://dekuf.com (the difference being the C is removed). I already own this domain and want to it (dekuf.com) as my primary domain. The issue I am having is that when I go to ad the new domain, wordpress prompts me to purchase domain mapping, which I was under the assumption that I had already purchased it in order to originally map my current address.

  Since I have already purchased the mapping upgrade for this particular blog, shouldn’t I be able to switch the domain mapping without being charged a second time?

  I hope this makes sense. I realize the domains are very similar which makes it a little confusing.

  Please let me know if you need me to answer any more questions and what I should do to resolve this matter.

  Thanks for your help!

  Ah – now I see what you mean. Sorry I missed that spelling difference earlier!

  I’ve gone ahead and swapped your mapping upgrade from dekcuf.com to dekuf.com and set it as the primary domain. Feel free to enable auto-renewal under Store > My Upgrades:

  Just let me know if I got it right this time. :-)
