  I am trying to make this adress: http://igangmedcampus.dk/ point to my wordpress blog igangmedcampus.wordpress.com.

  When I enter igangmedcampus.dk in my browser it looks like it´s pointing to wordpress, but I’m told that I need to buy a domain mapping upgrade:

  “Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.”

  But when I go to make the domain mapping upgrade I’m told that the domain is not pointing to wordpress.com.

  This I do not understand. Hope you can help me to make it work.

  I should tell you that I am pointing to wordpress.com via a dns forward since it is not possible to change the nameserver of a .dk domain for some reason. I found the ip of igangmedcampus.wordpress.com by pinging the site.
  Blog url: http://igangmedcampus.wordpress.com/

  I’ve just added a new DNS Zone record for your domain. This change may take a little while to be fully effective. Could you give it some time and then try updating your domain’s name servers to point to WordPress.com?
