  I have a free wordpress site. It is fencemaster.wordpress.com. I would like to use this blog as my main website. I have purchased a domain name only with irishdomains.com called Fencemaster.ie. I would like to have this as the domain name for my wordpress blog. There seems to be a problem when I try to change the name servers to ns1.wordpress.com etc. for this fencemaster.ie domain.

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

  I added a zone record for your domain name – try changing the name servers again – see below for how to map your domain name to your blog

  Ok it worked this time. Its not working though at the minute. It is still working as fencemaster.wordpress.com. When I type in fencemaster.ie, I am getting the parking page for irishdomains. Does it take a while to work? I have purchased the upgrade and changed the primary domain name choice to fencemaster.ie.

  It is also saying the the DNS needs to be updated, Is that to do with the irishdomains.com?

  Did you buy domain forwarding or domain mapping?

  What do you see at: Dashboard >> Store >> My Upgrades?

  Domain helper is not showing any domain mapping active

  In my upgrades it says
  Fencemaster (fencemaster.wordpress.com-current site)
  under Product;
  Domain: fencemaster.ie
  Domain Mapped to wordpress.com

  Under Subscription Status it now says;
  Status: Active, Manual Renwal
  This upgrade will expire in 12 months on Jan 29, 2014
  DNS is correct|cancel and refund

  I paid $13.

  Not sure what is happening then –

  I have flagged this for the staff to help – they can double the status of your upgrades and have some tools that I don’t have access to –

  Hi there,

  Sometimes domain changes can take a little while to propagate across the Internet. I’m glad to hear your domain is now working as you expect.

  Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.

  Best!
