I own a domain through WordPress and want to use it – how?
-
Hi!
I own clairepetersky.com through WordPress. I’ve now built a nice little professional website on WordPress, and want to publish it under this domain. WordPress says it is taken – yes, I know, by me through you!!! How do I get WordPress to allow me to do this? Surely this is a common problem, but the AI support bot is useless. -
Hi
That sounds tricky, let’s figure this out together.I see that the domain is currently attached to the site clairepetersky.wordpress.com, which is the only site I see under your current WordPress.com account. Are you looking to connect the domain to another site under a different WordPress.com account, or create a new site and attach the domain to it?
Let me know how you want to proceed so we can help you further.

Hi,
The domain clairepetersky.com is under a different WordPress.com account than cpetersky-hykpu.wordpress.com.
If you have access to both accounts, you can follow the steps in this guide to transfer the domain clairepetersky.com over to cpetersky-hykpu.wordpress.com:
Transfer a domain to another account
If you need to recover access to the account, and you are familiar with the email/username used, you can try to reset the password:

Let us know how it goes.
