  Good evening all.

  I purchased the domain feature but somehow, when purchasing it, mapped it to the wrong WordPress.com blog. I’ve been searching the support site and forum but cannot seem to find the solution.

  Here is the status of things:

  • findingmykid.com – registered with WP and is redirecting to findingmykiddotcom.wordpress.com
  • findingmykid.wordpress.com was also been created and what I’d like findingmykid.com to display.

  Does anyone have a suggestion or information on how to address this mistake?

  Thanks in advance.

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

  Contact staff on this and they can move the mapping over to the other blog for you.

  Normally we would send you to the contact the staff form- however that is closed while the staff is planning on how to make WordPress.COM even better for you.

  I will flag this for the staff as they monitor the forum even when the contact form is closed. Keep the faith the staff here are great.

  Thanks for the quick reply.

  I cannot find a link/place to contact the WP support Team on the page you posted. Am I missing something?

  You did not miss anything – the form is closed until Aug 15 – – if the form is open you type something into the search box then pick “I did not find my answer” in the Radio Box and a contact form will open at the bottom of the page – you might need to page down to see the form.

  I would be very surprised if you mapping issue by tomorrow.

  Good luck with your blog.

  I’d like a similar change please – tiakina.org currently redirects to: tiakina.wordpress.com and I’d like to redirect to: rangatahi.wordpress.com (or even better to: http://rangatahi.wordpress.com/documents/community-development-research/)

  @manucaddie: I have moved tiakina.org to rangatahi.wordpress.com as you requested.

  You can’t map a domain to a specific post on a blog, but if you wish, you can set a certain page to show up as your front page, see here for more details:

  Awesome, thanks Jenia.

  Jenia – I notice now tiakina.org is the primary domain name, but I wanted to retain teorahou.org.nz as the primary domain, just wanted tiakina.org to point to the same wordpress blog.

  Actually, teorahou.org.nz was never mapped here. In fact, the nameservers are pointing elsewhere.

  Perhaps you’re just forwarding the domain here via your registrar?

  Either way, your only choices are http://rangatahi.wordpress.com/ or http://tiakina.org/

  Ah, yes, you’re right (of course!), it is redirecting from the other domain.

  Thanks,
  Manu.
