domain URL
-
I own chelseagalipeau.com, but how do I push it onto my chelseagalipeau.wordpress site so that it shows without wordpress in the URL?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
This should do it: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Note that once the name servers are changed it can take 24 to 72 hours while the changes migrate around the internet – during that period access to your site might be erratic & you will be the last one to see the changes

Hello,
This redirect/mapping still isn’t working…this is what my domain host replied with:
“Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused. It seems that you have redirected the URL ‘gethealthywithchelsea.wordpress.com’ to the domain ‘healthywithchelsea.com’ in wordperss.com. This is the reason your website is not loading, so please contact wordpress.com and ask them to remove the redirect for the URL and then try to access the website. If still you are not able to access the website then please get back to us.”
But when I went into my dashboard > store > domains and switched the defaults….it did not redirect what I want. I am not pleased at how difficult this process has been with WordPress.com.
Can you please 301 redirect my gethealthwithchelsea.wordpress.com to healthywithchelsea.com .
Thank you.

Although healthywithchelsea.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. whois info
If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up.
healthywithchelsea.com is hosted by iPage
Name Servers:
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.comHowever, if you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined below.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog at Dashboard > My Upgrades
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Thank you for replying so quickly. However, I have already upgraded and paid the $13 to map my domain…I have already done all of this. There has got to be something someone can do.

Hi there!
It looks like the name servers for healthywithchelsea.com are:
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.comhttp://who.is/whois/healthywithchelsea.com
It does appear like your domain is directing to your blog, however, I think this is done via a redirect rather than being mapped correctly, which means setting your primary domain to no longer have ‘wordpress.com’ will break your site.
In order for the domain healthywithchelsea.com to direct to your blog gethealthywithchelsea.wordpress.com correctly, you’ll need to change your name servers to the following:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COMIf you’re not sure how, you’ll need to contact your registrar for assistance.
Once your name servers are updated, you can set your primary domain here:
https://gethealthywithchelsea.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!
