  Hi there!

  You’ll need to map the root domain, which is this:

  I had the same issues and mapped the ‘root domain.’ It worked but when I try this on browser, the domain name displayes like ‘abcde.com,’ not ‘www.abcde.com.’

  It doesn’t show ‘www.’ Is there any way to show the full address including ‘www’ – like ‘www.abcded.com’ (not ‘abcde.com’)?

  Please help me..

  No.

  Also, please note that WordPress.com automatically removes the “www” from all URLs.
