  Hi,

  Have you seen these instructions for mapping a domain you already own?:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  What is the exact error message you are seeing? It would be great if you could paste it into your reply to me.

  Thanks!

  Thank you for the reply Gemmacevans !

  “This domain was recently in use by someone else and is not available to map yet. Please try again later or contact support.”

  This was the exact message that keeps popping up

  Hi,

  The reason you are seeing this message is because the domain, Dankpromos.com, is showing as mapped to a site by another user (itslitboy).

  When a user cancels mapping or it expires, there is a two week wait before another use can adding mapping for the same domain.

  As you are not a user on the site where the domain is being mapped you will need to wait for this two week period — unless the other use can log in to their WordPress.com account and comment here to give permission.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
