  I have a registered domain (www.sceneofthecrimepodcast.com), but it’s not showing up under ‘My Sites’ on wordpress.com. How do I fix that?

  Hello. As far as I see that site is hosted at GoDaddy, not WordPress. If you want to use it at a WordPress.com site you can either Transfer or Map the domain. To see the difference between those ways see this page.
  Unless you’re trying to use the WordPress’ open source software, available at wordpress.org (here’s the difference between .com and .org). In that case we can’t help from here, you should go this forum to get advanced help.

  Hi there,

  You already have a site at https://www.sceneofthecrimepodcast.com/ built with the open source WordPress software. That is something completely different from WordPress.com – we’re a hosting provider, like GoDaddy.

  But there is an option to manage that site via your WordPress.com account – log into the WP-Admin dashboard using the admin user login details GoDaddy would have provided you, and install the Jetpack plugin. Once you activate that plugin, it will prompt you to connect to WordPress.com. Complete that connection process, and the site will be listed under My Sites in your WordPress.com account, and you’ll be able to manage your content and certain settings from our end.
