  I have a domain registered with wordpress.com that I want to transfer to a new site hosted through a different wordpress.com account? Can’t find the answer to how to do this. Thanks!

  What is the other username account?
  What is the domain URL?
  What are both .wordpress.com URLs please?

  Ok, I got the answer!
  1. From the dash board, click on the store
  2. click on upgrade domain
  3. find your domain name and click on transfer to… and a drop down menu (if you have multi-sites) will appear
  4. chose one
  5. whar-la!

  That works fine provided both blogs are registered under the same username account.

  yep. I assumed… but then again… I think I’m wrong, because my mapping has not taken effect yet… maybe I’m being too pushy…. :(

  Hi @hollytashley and @guycicero,

  As @timethief explained, as long as the blogs are on the same account, you should be able to transfer the domain following the instructions Holly mentioned.

  If you’re still having trouble, please let me know the following:

  1. The domain you want transferred
  2. The site you want it transferred to
