  I cannot figure out how to purchase the privacy add-on so that when somebody does WHOIS they do not see my personal info. Also, I cannot figure out how to point one of the domain names that I own to a new blog I just created.

  Currently, my domain name of OliverCdamon.com is pointing to onewaywardson.com
  I want to point OliverCdamon.com to OCdamon.com but cannot figure that out, despite reading the helpful form posts on the topic :)

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

  hi!

  It looks like privacy is currently enabled on your domain ocdamon.com. You can see that here:

  https://onewaywardson.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades

  Can you confirm it’s appearing on your side?

  Also, I cannot figure out how to point one of the domain names that I own to a new blog I just created. Currently, my domain name of OliverCdamon.com is pointing to onewaywardson.com I want to point OliverCdamon.com to OCdamon.com but cannot figure that out

  Currently, onewaywardson.com and ocdamon.com are both on the site onewaywardson.wordpress.com. If you would like olivercdamon.com to redirect to ocdamon.com, you’ll just need to map it to onewaywardson.wordpress.com as explained here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Then, make sure ocdamon.com is set as the primary domain here:

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

  That way, all domains on the account will redirect to the primary domain.

  Are you trying to make onewaywardson.com a separate site from ocdamon.com and olivercdamon.com?

  Hi and thanks for the reply!
  The privacy is on now for OCdamon.com. I can see that now. I think you’re mistaken on the following:

  “Currently, onewaywardson.com and ocdamon.com are both on the site onewaywardson.wordpress.com.”

  OCdamon.com is correctly NOT pointing to onewaywardson.wordpress.com. It’s pointing to ocdamon.wordpress.com.

  I’ve read those links and still can’t quite figure out how to point olivercdamon.com to ocdamon.com :(

  As to your question: “Are you trying to make onewaywardson.com a separate site from ocdamon.com and olivercdamon.com?” the answer is yes. I’d like onewaywardson.com to do what it’s doing now (it’s working fine) and I’d like ocdamon.com and olivercdamon.com to both point to a new blog I just created today. I can’t figure that bit out

  Ah – you’re right. I mixed up some details! Thanks for clarifying. I’ve moved olivercdamon.com to ocdamon.wordpress.com. Now, you’ll just need to set ocdamon.com as the primary domain here:

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

  Then, both ocdamon.wordpress.com and olivercdamon.com should redirect to ocdamon.com.
