I created a test blog ,set to private, for a friend so she could learn how to use it. I made her an administrator so she could work with the blog at home. I told her she would have to create her own wordpress account for her ‘real’ blog but before she did that she attached a domain name and a premium theme to the ‘test’ blog. Now that she has her own account I have to figure out how to have her purchased domain point to her site, not mine.
I have tried to delete my blog but can’t because of the domain name attached to it.
Do I need to transfer this ‘test’ blog to her? Will the domain go with it?

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

I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance with sorting that out. They will require the usernames and the blog URLs and the domain URL as what you posted above does not reveal those vital details.

Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

socaljazzsociety.org is the domain name that is attached to the wrong blog.

socaljazz.wordpress.com is the location of the “wrong” blog

marytalbot1210.wordpress.com is the “right” blog that should have socaljazzsociety.org attached to it

socaljazzsociety.org

I can move the domain for you, but I’ll need to see the request here from the user who purchased the domain before proceeding.

I would love for you to move the domain for us and get us out of this hell. I am not savvy enough to to it myself and solicited the help of my good friend Kim. What sort of proof do you need from me that I purchased the domain?

Similiar question: I am looking to transfer my domain name to bluehost and I cant unlock it. When I go under domains, there is NO ‘domain administration’ button anywhere. so at the point in the directions i am completely stuck. Please help! Is there someone who can manually unlock my domain for me?

I am trying to transfer my domain and it is currently lock. I have researched how to do this but I cannot find the domain administration. I go to “store” then “domain” but when I get there, there is no domain admin. It also says to cancel the private registration and when I got to upgrade there it says that there is no current subscriptions. Since we are not able to achieve either of these steps we are not able to get the Epp authorization code. any help?

You’ll need to be logged in as the owner of the domain to transfer it following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/
