Moving a domain to map to another site

    I’d like to switch a domain name I own (mlivengood.com) from one Word Press blog to another. Neither of my wordpress.com names/sites are set up yet (no posts on them); I’m just getting started and am having trouble figuring out how to make this change.

    Please help me set up mlivengood.com so that it maps not to mlivengooddotcom1.wordpress.com as it does now, but instead to mattlivengood.wordpress.com.

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

    Hi there,

    Done! I’ve moved mlivengood.com to mlivengooddotcom1.wordpress.com. Would you also like me to move the Premium bundle on the blog mattlivengood.wordpress.com?

    I think I’d figured out how to do this myself after sending the help message. (Your site indicated I’d have to have this done by you guys at WordPress, but I found a way to do it on the Store page.)

    I think the change you made has put my registered domain BACK on the WordPress site I DON’T want to use it for. I want mlivengood.com to map to mattlivengood.wordpress.com, NOT to mlivengooddotcom1.wordpress.com. I want the Premium bundle to be associated with mattlivengood.wordpress.com also… and I *think* I’ve successfully made this change myself already. Yikes. I’m new to this; steep learning curve here.

    OK. To be clear, here’s what I’m aiming to have set up:

    mattlivengood.wordpress.com
    – uses mlivengood.com for its primary address
    – uses the Primary bundle upgrade (I think I’ve successfully done this)

    mattlivengooddotcom1.wordpress.com
    – NO registered address, NO Primary bundle
    – would be great if I could get this DELETED altogether; I never wanted this name at all but WordPress generated it for me automatically upon my initial registration

    Sorry for all this. Thanks VERY MUCH for your help!

    Oh man! I completely misread your previous thread. I apologize.

    The domain mlivengood.com is currently associated with mattlivengood.wordpress.com along with the Premium bundle. It is set as the primary domain so if you visit mattlivengood.wordpress.com you should be redirected to mlivengood.com.

    If you would like to delete mattlivengooddotcom1.wordpress.com, you can do so following the instructions here:

    Please let me know if you need anything else!
