  Hi there. What is the custom domain? It’s impossible to check it if you don’t tell us what it is.

  Just to be clear, are you trying to use that domain with your WordPress.com site? At the moment it looks like your custom domain is redirecting to the WordPress.com site. Instead, you must set up domain mapping to have your WordPress.com site appear with that domain.

  You need to buy the domain mapping upgrade from the Store section of the WordPress.com dashboard, and then you need to change the domain’s name servers (or ask the company where you bought the domain to change them for you) to wordpress.com.

  Let us know if you need any more help with this.
