My Domain is locked by wordpress !
-
I completely deleted my site clairvanderswan.com with wordpress, and now I can use this domain somewhere else , please help
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

When a domain is canceled, the registrar will hold onto it for some amount of time as an anti fraud measure. This is not something we control, I’m afraid.
This is why we typically suggest that people either use these instructions to point their domain to a new webhost:
Or these instructions to transfer their domain registration to a new registrar:
If you like, I can try and reverse the cancellation. I will let you know if I am successful, it typically takes 12-48 hours.
Let me know what you would like me to do.

Thank you so much for replying me , yes let’s reverse the cancellation, so we can get the transfer code .

Good news! The recovery was successful. You should see the domain active in your account again.
-
Thank you , So my domain now is clairvanderswancom.wordpress.com is that right ? Is not clairvanderswan.com And how can I get a domain transfer code from here ?
-
All custom domains need a ________.wordpress.com site to be attached to. Yours is currently attached to clairvanderswancom.wordpress.com.
You can find instructions for transferring your domain here:
-
I Selected the domain i want to transfer from the list( which is only clairvanderswancom.wordpress.com for now ), and there are settings, and options just “Edit Site Address”
-
Maybe clairvanderswancom.wordpress.com is not a primary domain that’s why there are no options below …clairvanderswan.com is nowhere to be found and that’s the one need to transfer , i’m so desperate now …..

ummmm under the domain is still just clairvanderswanblog.wordpress.com, I can give the password if it can help if you can login from my side …

Hey … i’m having another problem now … I got an email from wordpress like this :The transfer you requested has been declined because you opted-in to a transfer lock for 60 days when you agreed to the WordPress.com Change of Registrant policy.
For security reasons, when you change the registrant’s first name, last name, or organization name, you consent to a 60 day lock on transferring the domain name. Because you have provided your consent, Section 3(6) of the ICANN Policy on Transfer of Registration between Registrars permits us to decline your transfer request.
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/policy-2012-03-07-en
If you feel the lock was initiated in error, you may contact (email visible only to moderators and staff) to request a review.
what should I do for the domain transfer now?
-
So, I suspect that is because the domain was canceled and recovered. ICANN probably views that as a change in registrant which triggers the 60 day lock as an anti fraud measure.
While you wait out the 60 days, you can use these instructions to point your domain to a new webhost:

Yeah, a little frustrating. But there’s no way around it I’m afraid. All registrars are bound by ICANN regulations.
