  I attempted to link my website to zenfolio yesterday and found that my blog link no longer works as long as zenfolio is linked to joylifeartphotgraphy.com.

  I created a new subdomain yesterday blog.joylifeartphography.com and would like to link my wordpress to that subdomain and not joylifeartphotography.com/blog. The guide is quite vague that I found through searching the support page. I was hoping for some assistance getting my new subdomain set up to my word press account.

  Thanks!

  Zenfolio is a bit tricky – but we need the base WordPress.COM blog you are trying to map to give you accurate help

  Right now my blog is at http://www.joylifeart.com/blog, I want to move it to blog.joylifeart.com. I already created the subdomain with my web host, just not sure how to move the blog from my current address to my new subdomain address. Hope that clarifies it.

  Not a lot – what is the WordPress.COM base blog you are working with?

  Also you have another problem .joylifeart.com does not seem to be registered at all – so no amount of anything will work until it is registered

  http://www.joylifeart.com/blog gives the following message

  Server not found

  Firefox can’t find the server at http://www.joylifeart.com.

  joylifeartphotography.com was set up with zenfolio, I had to take it down to get my blog back up. That’s why I created the new subdomain, so I could point my subdomain to my wordpress and my domain to zenfolio.

  I’m not sure I know what you mean by the wordpress.com “base blog”, can you please clarify? I appreciate your help!

  Also, it’s joylifeartphotography.com, not joylifeart.com.

  No Domain Mapping Found

  There is no domain mapping upgrade for joylifeartphotography.com.

  Again

  what is the WordPress.COM base blog you are working with?

  As in: your-blog-name.wordpress.com
