  Domain mapping not working.
  I set up domain mapping 48 hours ago and it is still not working.

  “Oops! Google Chrome could not find annabuckley.com”

  What is the difference between having my ISP map to wordpress and wordpress doing the mapping?
  Do posts get their own URL?
  e.g. “annabuckley.com/a-really-interesting-post”
  or does the address bar just say “annabuckley.com”?

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

  It can take as long as 72 hours for DNS changes to become widely available. If you’re still not seeing your site loading at http://annabuckley.com/, please wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache, and try again.

  I’m in Canada and the blog is correctly redirecting to your domain for me. See here to observe the progress https://www.whatsmydns.net/ and know it’s not uncommon for your own ISP to be last to flush their DNS cache.

  Hey Anna!
  I am able to open your blog, annabuckley.com. It may actually be more of a browser issue than anything else. Try clearing your browser cache and you might see the issue resolved.

  Yes. Example: http://annabuckley.com/2014/03/10/discovering-the-mansion/

  I suggest that you please use the support docs and use tag search to locate the correct answers that regular Volunteers like myself have been providing for years before you post into any thread.

  Thank you all. I tried from my office (different ISP) and it worked.
  And I now see each post (and page) has a unique address.
  This is better than redirecting via my ISP where the address bar just keeps the root domain name no matter what page some-one is on.

  I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware that there were specific replies we were supposed to post. As far as I can tell the information I supplied her with was valid advice.
