  It doesn’t look like you purchased a mapping upgrade for this domain yet.

  You’ll need to do that by adding the domain via the Upgrades -> Domains section of your Dashboard.

  Actually, please disregard my previously reply. The problem goes a bit deeper than that.

  Instead of purchasing a domain mapping upgrade, you purchased a site redirect upgrade.

  Domain mapping directs a domain purchased elsewhere to your WordPress.com blog. This is what you want.

  Site redirect directs a WordPress.com blog to a site hosted elsewhere. This is not what you want, and has effectively sent the domain into a loop.

  Would you like me to cancel and refund your Site Redirect upgrade?
