  Hi, we have a domain mapped to our WordPress site which we had already had registered before our WordPress site went live. We are now looking to change our site to one hosted elsewhere, but wish to use the domain that we had mapped to the wordpress site.

  The original registrar of the domain says that WordPress have control of the domains DNS, yet because we already had the domain registered elsewhere and mapped it to the WordPress site I don’t get the “Manage Domains” link in my admin panel…

  Desperately need some help in being able to direct traffic to our new website

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

  Hi. Does this help?

  If not, we need the URL of the blog/domain you are asking about please.

  Hi the address is waveneyandblytharts.com.

  Unfortunately I need to change the domain’s A Records, not just the nameservers…

  Unfortunately, A records cannot be modified here. If you’re outside of ICANN’s 60-day transfer limitation, you can transfer your domain to a registrar that supports this following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#transfer-to-another-registrar
