  Hello,
  The French forum sent me here as they were unable to find an answer to this.

  I recently bought a domain name (25th June) to change the address of my new blog. The domain is macédoine.fr and the provider is OVH.

  Each time I try to map the domain, it says that macédoine.fr does not seem to be a valid domain name.

  I checked the Whois and my domain name is registered.

  I’ve already mapped a domain several months ago for another blog, and it went perfectly fine.

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com does not support internationalized domain names, such as domains with accented characters, so you won’t be able to map your domain macédoine.fr here at WordPress.com.

  Sorry I couldn’t do more to help!

  @rachelmcr: Thank you as well. Just a thought… You might want to add that information to https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  (In fact, I think it used to be there.)

  @airodyssey — Thanks for pointing that out. That information was on that page before, and I’ve added it back. :)
