    If you control the WordPress.com user account that owns the Upgrade for newcenturyautobody.com, please log in as that user and reply here with a request to transfer the Upgrade to the dfrjr account and dfrjr.wordpress.com site.

    Let us know if you have any more questions.

    Currently, i do not control the wordpress user account that owns the upgrade for the domain. I’ve reached out to the user for admin access. Just puzzling to me as I own the domain, but can not control which user account wordpress points to. Feel free to verify my information via whois.

    The Upgrade in question is a Domain Mapping Upgrade.

    Domain Mapping is distinct from Domain Registration. For more information about the differences between domain registration, hosting, and mapping, please see our page All About Domains:

    Are you planning on pointing the domain to another WordPress.com site, or a site hosted elsewhere?

    Once I get some feedback, we can take the next troubleshooting step in resolving your issue.

    I’m familiar with both, and the difference. When the other side was created, I had the user use the domain. At this time however, I do not have access to that wordpress user account. I do however control the Domain Registration which I still have pointed at your DNS servers. It would be easy to point it at a site hosted elsewhere, but I’m trying to point it at this wordpress site now which I can not do without your assistance.

    I’ve reached out to the owning user regarding a transfer of this Upgrade.

    Once I hear back from them, I will let you know.
