  Did you have a zone record added for vveweenahof.nl

  When it is all settled you also need to have vveweenahof.nl as your primary domain

  Thanks for your reply.

  What’s a zone record?

  I had weenahof.wordpress settled as primary domain. I have changed it now.

  With vveweenahof.nl as primary adress, both adresses are no longer accessible.

  A zone record is needed to make it all work – don’t really know what one is but the staff need to add one for you for your domain to work.

  I will flag this for the staff to add a zone record – in the mean time – change primary back to http://weenahof.wordpress.com. until the zone record is added

  zone record needed for vveweenahof.nl

  I have manually added a zone record for your domain.

  You should now be able to map it here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  THE website is still not accessible, because it’s now forwarding to vveweenahof.wordpress.com. That is not my blog. It has to forward to weenahof.wordpress.com. Can someone fix this, please?

  You need to map your domain to weenahof.wordpress.com using the link from staff-blorbo above –

  If vveweenahof.wordpress.com is not yours there is no way that you can domain map to it – your name servers are set correctly to WordPress.COM but you need to finish the mapping – that is done here not at your Registrar.

  I mapped my domain already as discribed in the link from staff-blorbo.

  This is my site and my blog.

  http://www.vveweenahof.nl
  weenahof.wordpress.com

  staff-blorbo has made a zone record, but i think he did it wrong, because my site is forwarding to vveweenahof.wordpress.com, which isn’t my blog. It has to be forwarded to weenahof.wordpress.com

  We have no mapping records yet for the domain. You’ll need to purchase domain mapping following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  I paid for domain mapping for my blog weenahof.wordpress.com on october 14th. In my dashbord it is noticed as ‘active, will be renewed at october 14th 2012″

  So, i really don’t understand why this is not working for 5 days now.

  You paid for a Site Redirect upgrade, not a Domain Mapping upgrade.

  I have canceled and refunded your Site Redirect upgrade.

  Would you please try purchasing it again? Make sure that you choose Domain Mapping this time.
