  I am trying to map a domain name that I bought from letshost.ie to an existing blog for someone else, however wordpress.com is saying “Sorry but [mydomain].ie has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped.”

  I assumed that I had to change the nameservers using letshost, except the IEDR is rejecting these changes due to them not being “authoritative”, therefore they’ve asked me to ask for support on the wordpress forums.

  In previous similar topics I saw that a DNS zone record had to be created to use a .ie domain. The domain I wish to use is fet-review.ie

  Thank you

  Hi there,

  I created a DNS zone record for your domain fet-review.ie, so you can now change your domain’s name servers to these:

  • NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  • NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  • NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  If you have any more trouble mapping your domain after making that change, please let me know and I can help you get that set up here at WordPress.com. :)

  Thank you for helping me out with this, unfortunately I’m still getting the same message whilst trying to map my domain.

  I’ve changed the nameservers for the domain to the wordpress name servers, however it’s still saying I can’t map it as it isn’t registered.
  The wordpress website I’m trying to map this domain to is irishfurthered.wordpress.com and the domain I’m trying to map is fet-review.ie

  How should I proceed? Thanks

  This may be something you need to contact your domains tech support on, since the Happiness Engineers don’t have access to your registry data.

  Are you trying to map the domain using the account you are posting from? Or the WordPress.com site owner’s account?

  I’m using the WordPress site owner’s account as the owner was not aware of the mapping functionality.

  The people that provided the domain referred me back to the forums when asked any questions about setting it up with WordPress.com

  What is the WordPress.com site you are trying to set up mapping for?

  Also, can you post a confirmation in this thread with the site owner’s account that you want domain mapping set up for that site. My apologies for the hassle there, but it is a security issue.

  I’ve set up mapping from my end. Can you take a look and see if it is working?

  To be clear, it appears to be working for me.

  I’m having the same problem. WordPresss is saying our domain http://www.phat.ie isn’t registered but my hosting company, who we registered the domain with said it is and that you have to add it before they can direct it to WordPress

  Hi,
  Currently having the same issue with my address “Sorry but [mydomain].ie has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped.”

  HostingIreland.ie have adv to contact wordpress as has been registered and when they update the nameserves they have advised they are getting errors because the DNS for your domain is not configurated at wordpress end.

  Can this be looked into asap please?
