OVH domains/hosting, mapping and blog transfer
-
Dear all,
Here is the situation for which I desperately need help:
1. I bought a new domain name (.com and .fr) with OVH France yesterday to launch my knitting blog; I also changed my OVH plan to their 2014 Perso plan with which I can host up to 5 sites (I planned to have 2 blogs: online CV, http://www.juliebodin.fr + knitting blog http://www.tricopathe.com)
2. I wanted to create a new blog with my new domain name but on my existing wordpress account (juliebodin)
3. After some time spent searching it seemed that mapping was unavoidable as I purchased my domain name with OVH; I paid €13 to map http://www.tricopathe.com to wordpress and created a new blog and a new WordPress profile (jubobo) with one of my existing e-mail address
4. Afterwards I wanted to transfer the ownership of this blog to my existing WordPress account (juliebodin, that I have for http://www.juliebodin.fr) so I don’t have to juggle between 2 WordPress accounts; I read the warnings, made sure that I provided my e-mail address and asked for the transfer. I then received an e-mail with another warning before transferring once and for all ownership of my new blog to my existing WordPress account (juliebodin)
5. I then clicked on the link to transfer and it opened a popup saying that I (jubobo) couldn’t access tricopathe.com dashboard. But when I access the juliebodin dashboard I don’t see tricopathe.com even if juliebodin is supposed to be the new owner of the blog …
Can anyone help me with finding where the h* my new blog could have gone? THANKS A LOT in advance to anyone that can help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

In other words “I lost my blog”.
Please help a damsel in distress not geek enough for this world! -

Let’s try and straighten this out.
1. I bought a new domain name (.com and .fr) with OVH France yesterday to launch my knitting blog; I also changed my OVH plan to their 2014 Perso plan with which I can host up to 5 sites (I planned to have 2 blogs: online CV, http://www.juliebodin.fr + knitting blog http://www.tricopathe.com)
So, from what you say here, you have a hosting plan with OVH. That sounds like you have a self-hosted WordPress.org site (or sites). Are you sure that you are looking to set things up with WordPress.com?
Both juliebodin.fr and tricopathe.com are WordPress sites. But neither are WordPress.com sites.
Finally, I see a Domain Mapping purchase for tricopathe.com under a different WordPress.com user, but it has been canceled and refunded.

Thanks again for answering! This issue as also been resolved, this time thanks to OVH support on Twitter and some colleagues (I work in a IT company so I asked and they helped me install WordPress for my second website).
But thanks anyway here to!
