  Hi,

  I’m trying to add a new domain to my blog: nsloureiro.pt, that is mine.
  However, if i follow the normal steps in my blog back office, I receive the following message: Someone (maybe you?) already registered nsloureiro.pt, but the domain is not pointing to WordPress.com.

  Domain’s name servers were changed at my registrar’s website (dominios.pt) without any difficulties, but I’m facing other problem: the main manager of the .pt domains (FCCN: http://www.fccn.pt/) requires that the nsloureiro.pt is added to WordPress before to allow that it runs correctly.

  Can you help me fixing this problem?

  Thank you in advance,

  Nuno

  You Map a domain you own not add a domain – see the instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Please read them completely to avoid confusion.

  I have also flagged this for the staff to add a zone record for your domain name.

  Hi,

  Sorry for my mistake.

  The correct sentence is:

  I’m trying to map a new domain to my blog: nsloureiro.pt

  Thanks,

  NSL

  Are you hosted on WordPress.COM?

  For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  What is the base WordPress.COM blog you are trying to map your domain name to?

  You might be in the wrong forum.

  If you have a WordPress.ORG install then you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of that software.

  Yes, I’m hosted on WordPress.COM.
  My base blog is nsloureiro.wordpress.com.

  Nowadays, the Primary domain is nsloureiro.com.

  The registrar is the same for nsloureiro.com and nsloureiro.pt.
  Some months ago I mapped nsloureiro.com without any kind of problems.

  Today I’m facing problems because I’m trying to map a top domain (.pt).

  The .pt requires a zone record a .com name does not – so nsloureiro.pt will need a zone record added for the mapping to be able to be completed –

  This was flagged earlier for the staff to add the zone record for you. The staff do check the forums on a regular basis

  I have manually added a zone record for your domain.

  You should now be able to map it here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  One time again I tried to map the domain nsloureiro.pt.

  However, the problem remains…

  I believe that there is another problem: the national manager of the .pt domains (FCCN: http://www.fccn.pt/) requires that the nsloureiro.pt is mapped to WordPress before to allow that it runs correctly.

  Is is possible to force domain’s mapping?
