  I live in Denmark and wanted to host my wordpress.com site on a .dk domain which I couldn’t do directly through wordpress.com. I them bought the .dk domain and have it hosted as a dns service elsewhere. I then mapped the domain in my wordpress control panel, but the domain (graverholtfoto.dk) only shows ‘hosted by unoeuro ….). What to do?

  graverholtfoto.dk) – it looks like you have purchased domain mapping but the name servers are not pointing to WordPress.COM – see below for more info – I have also flagged this for the staff to help – sometimes they need to add a zone record manually for the name servers to change

  please also check with your registrar to see if the name servers are set correctly

  Auxclass has given you the correct information. The domain’s nameservers need to be set to point to WordPress.com.
