  Hi there,

  I see you already have a site, https://theadhdirectoryorg.wordpress.com/. Do you want to add the domain to that site?

  To do that, first you’ll have to upgrade to a paid plan under My Site ->Plans. Then on the domains step, don’t search for the domain, but instead choose the option to use a domain you already own.

  That will take you to a screen asking if you want to transfer or map. Here select mapping, as you won’t be able to transfer your domain away from Namecheap until you’ve owned it for at least 60 days.

  You can find detailed instructions for mapping your domain here:
