How to change mapping to a different WP blog
-
I mapped two domain names to my WP blog, but would like to move one of those mappings to a separate site now and started the new WP blog to do that, but it won’t let me change the mapping.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Jean,
I believe you’re referring to the following domains:
- gardenhealingchurch.org
- mkgardenhealing.org
Just let me know what domain you would like me to move and what WordPress.com site you would like me to move it to!

Thank you. While making changes to make the combination site acceptable, I decided to stay with my first impulse to have them together. In the event I change my mind (again), can I just have instructions, rather than a lead-me-through – or can you lead me through and then reverse it? Whichever is easiest. Thanks again.

Hey Jean,
Of course! If you want to transfer a domain (or any upgrade) in the future, just navigate to your My Upgrades page under Dashboard -> Store -> My Upgrades:
https://jeaneisenhower.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades
Then, under the upgrade you want to transfer, you’ll see a “Transfer” link as shown here:
The process is described here as well:

Let me know if you have any questions!

I used that “transfer an upgrade” just the other day – but I don’t see how that relates to my question. Since I’ve changed my mind about separating the sites, let’s let this rest for now. Thank you.

Hey Jean,
With regards to your original question:
I mapped two domain names to my WP blog, but would like to move one of those mappings to a separate site now and started the new WP blog to do that, but it won’t let me change the mapping.
If you ever want to separate the domains and use them to create two different sites, you’ll need to create a new WordPress.com blog and then transfer the domain to that blog.
Did I misunderstand what you were originally looking to do?

Re your last question, I think so, but you have gotten close now. I DID create a new blog on wordpress and tried to transfer the domain to that blog, as you write, but I was told that domain was already being used by another blog. And this was written inside a bright red background with no option to change it. That’s when I wrote you.

Hey Jean,
Interesting…you should have been able to transfer the domain to another WordPress.com site you own. If you ever have trouble with this in the future, please either drop a note in this thread or contact support in a new thread. We’ll be happy to make the change for you!
