  Hello. I have domain names through Hostgator: notthatgirlthisgirl.com and susanwheelersmith.com and would like both of those to be the site address linked to my primary WordPress site. I had it all worked out before I let my WordPress account lag (only because I took a break from blogging) and now can’t get everything set back up the way it was to my main blog. Help please!

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there, @smiths2boys1girl!

  Thanks for reaching out.

  I think you are trying to add both notthatgirlthisgirl.com and susanwheelersmith.com to your WordPress.com site notthatgirlthisgirldotcom.wordpress.com. Is that right?

  If so, you can follow our guide here to connect these domains:

  If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Once you complete the steps below, instead of your site address being something like yourgroovysite.wordpress.com, your site’s address will be something like yourgroovydomain.com. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and use it to show

  You might also consider transferring both of these domains to WordPress.com. If you do so, you can manage both your domains and your hosting all in one place. A full guide on how to transfer your domains can be found here:
