  Please make sure that you are mapping the domain, not registering it:

  Map an Existing Domain

  If you are still having a problem, let me know, and we can take the next troubleshooting step, once I get more feedback :-)

  I still get same error. I do not get the response you gave in your example. it keeps saying only: Sorry but webokaap.co.za does not end with a valid domain extension.
  I might have to cancel/delete the blog and use one with go daddy to make it easier. just really liked the wordpress one I was using but go daddy also offers wordpress. so i guess i will just go ahead and do that. thanks for trying

  I am still not seeing the error on our end.

  I’ve set up the Domain Mapping. Now, change its name servers to point to WordPress.com, as stated here:

  Map an Existing Domain

  Finally, set your site’s Primary Domain:

  https://webokaap.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Let us know if you have any more questions :-)
