Manual domain mapping
-
Hi,
I’ve registered the domain palarialuenache.ro a few hours ago and I have been trying ever since to map the domain to the wordpress website to no avail — I receive the following error: ‘Sorry but palarialuenache.ro has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped.’ Upon browsing the support forums, I found out that it could be the case that my domain needs to be manually mapped by a member of the staff. I would therefore be very grateful if somebody could help me with that.
Thank you very much!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one wherein Staff have to add a zone record to make domain mapping possible we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you.
How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.
After Staff add the zone record you will be able to follow-through.
re: mapping an existing domain
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.
If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

Hi @palarialuenache, thanks for getting in touch. I’ve mapped this for you, so you’ll just need to finish up by renewing here:
