  Hi,

  We have paid domain mapping feature on our blogs, and we would like to rename the domain mapping to something else.

  Is it possible to rename domain mappings ?

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

  Hello!

  You can’t rename a domain mapping, but we can do the next best thing. I added a new domain mapping for the domain ‘latrobetimes.blogs.latrobe.edu.au’ to your site. Once it’s configured and working, I’ll change the primary domain to the new domain and delete the old mapping.

  Before that can happen, we need to make sure your domain points to the WordPress.com site. There are instructions for doing that right in your Dashboard under Store > My Upgrades. Here’s a direct link:

  https://internewsltu.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&action=updatenameservers&domain=latrobetimes.blogs.latrobe.edu.au

  Let me know if you need any assistance with that. Once the domain is pointing to the right place, let me know and I’ll swap the domain mapping.

  Hi Payton,

  Thanks heaps !

  I’ve added CNAME for latrobetimes.blogs.latrobe.edu.au and also swap the mappings to latrobetimes.blogs.latrobe.edu.au as the primary domain.

  Feel free to remove internews.blogs.latrobe.edu.au.

  Regards,
  Rianto
