    When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one wherein Staff have to add a zone record to make domain mapping possible we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you.

    How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

    After Staff add the zone record you will be able to follow-through.

    re: mapping an existing domain
    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    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.

  • Hi there,

    This sometimes happens with some domains. I have added a zone record for your domain. Can you please try to register it again?

    If it still won’t work, let me know and I can try to add it manually. Can you just confirm whether you want to use the free domain credit in your Premium Plan for this as well?

    Also in my package $99 i have an email support can you please also tell me which email address to send an email for futher communication?

    If you have an upgrade on your site, you can create a support ticket, or start a live support chat if we’re available, via this page:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

    This is generally faster than just sending an email directly, so please go that route if you need help in future and you don’t want to post in the forums.

    Dear Kokkieh,
    Thank you for your reply kindly note i received this error when i was trying to add zone record.

    (We cannot add a zone for the domain you’ve specified. Our support staff has been notified and will contact you to follow up.)

    Secondly : this is the error i get when i type my domain name (Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.)

    Yes when i got premium($99) i want to use mapping for my own domain name http://www.birdcontrol.ae for my blog.

    Please help me solve this problem i am facing for past 4 days.

  • I have added the mapping upgrade for you and it’s already working for me. Please clear your browser cache and check your site, and you should see the correct domain in your browser.

    I have also bundled the mapping with your Premium Plan, so you shouldn’t have the problem again when renewing next year.

    Let me know if I can help with anything else.

    Dear Kokkieh,

    Thank you very very muchh!! i really appreciate your support.The site is working now.

    Please can you tell me how to add the contact details of the company at the bottom?

    and also if i have to remove this from the bottom page (Blog at WordPress.com. | The Dyad Theme.)

    Do i have to pay for it?

    Regards,
    Imran Ali

  • Please can you tell me how to add the contact details of the company at the bottom?

    I see you already have the contact info widget in your footer. You can also use a text widget in the footer with the information or you can add it to the very bottom using CSS. Let me know if you’re happy with the widget you currently have or if you need help with another option.

    and also if i have to remove this from the bottom page (Blog at WordPress.com. | The Dyad Theme.)

    While it’s technically possible to remove those credits, we ask that you don’t do that. Our Terms of Service (Item #1, heading; Attribution) require that those credits must remain legible and clickable. However, you may change the appearance (e.g. font-type, font-size and colour) using custom CSS.

    For help with adding custom CSS to your site, please post in the CSS Customization forums:

    I don’t think that many people read the footer or understand it – keep in mind that even the VIP blogs that start at about $20,000/year need to keep the footer credits – also I have seen many government sites with the footer credits – does not seem to bother them
