  I would like to map an existing domain to my blog but
  when I try to map it then I get the following error ‘Sorry but angolbudaorson.hu has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped.’

  I have already contacted the domain registrar company and they informed me that there are no restrictions on the domain.

  The blog I need help with is englishimpact.wordpress.com
  The domain I would like to map is angolbudaorson.hu
  Any help would be highly appreciated

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

  Hello!

  It appears your domain name is not pointing to WordPress Name servers. You can check the status of it here

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=angolbudaorson.hu

  To make it point to WordPress name servers you will need to add the following name servers at your domain registrar

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  WordPress has a guide here to help with domain mapping:

  I’ve also tagged this post for a staff follow-up.

  Hi,
  Thanks for the help. I contacted the domain registrar and asked them to set the name servers. They informed me that they are not able to set it until the domain is added to the WordPress name server.
  Staff, please help!

  I’ve mapped your domain to your site. Can you try updating your name servers again, and then renew the mapping upgrade I added asap?
