  Hello there,

  I’m having trouble mapping my domain to squarespace.com, whilst I want to use. Whenever I try to type in the given ‘A’ codes it shows up with this:

  “This record cannot be added, as it conflicts with an existing WordPress.com record.”

  I’ve been looking through the wordpress forum endlessly trying to solve this issue, but nothing Ive tried seemed to work.

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

  Hi there!

  You’ll need to edit the existing A record instead of creating a new one. Can you confirm that this is what you’re doing? Can you tell me the A record you’re trying to add?

  For reference, here are Squarespace’s directions for mapping a WordPress.com domain to them:
