  Dear WordPress,
  I have purchased the domain name petrasbilder with the swedish .se end.
  I would like to create a wordpress-site with the name petrasbilder.se but the system says that the domain-name petrasbilder does not exist. What is wrong?
  I have a receipt in swedish from Binero with my purchased domain name.
  I have registrered in wordpress the name petrasbilder.se but this turns out completely wrong: petrasbilderdotse.wordpress.com! Obviously I do not want the address to have ‘dotse’.

  Help!

  Regards,
  Torhild

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

  Hi,

  I want to make sure I understand you correctly. Are you saying you want to upgrade your WordPress.com site picotbytorhild.wordpress.com to the custom domain petrasbilder.se?

  Yeah, I tend to triage the forums occasionally on the front end without logging into our backend where the history is available. {doubly red faced}.

  No worries – it’s a glitch that happens occasionally and it results in duplicate threads in the forum. But, we’ve taken care of it.

  Good to hear that you are now on the right track!
