  Hello,

  I recently took over management of abcs.wordpress.com, mapped to the domain arlisnap.org. The domain expired in April, though, and I was unable to renew through the store. What would be the best possible course of action from this point?

  Thank you!

  An upgrade can only be renewed by the Admin of the blog ie. the person logged in under the username account who purchased the upgrade.

  A whois shows that the domain name arlisnap.org is registered through Sept. 12, 2013 and registered with 1 & 1 – you probably have some more homework to do – you also need to renew the domain mapping at some point – this thread has been flagged for the staff to help

  The domain mapping expired back in April.

  You can map it again following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Thank you, everyone! I’m trying to reach the original owner to get the domain registration information, and can then proceed with re-mapping the domain.
