  Hey everyone,

  Just joined WP, from the UK. I paid for an extra feature upon sign up. My own domain name for £15? I did so, and figured my domain name would change to “www.arhtee.com” but it hasn’t, it comes up wit an error (something about domain mapping) – no idea what this means…have I just wasted my money? if anyone can make sense of what I’m saying, let me know. God help my blog posts then! ha.

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

  Howdy,

  It appears you have bought the domain but need to have it live somewhere (that is the domain mapping part). To buy domain mapping you need to go to Store–>Upgrade and purchase domain mapping for the domain.

  Try this guide here and let us know if you are still stuck

  Thanks, I just had to change it to my primary address, just thought it would have done this by default! Phew. Thanks though :)
