This domain was recently in use by someone else.
-
Hi there,
I got a problem. I made a mistake that my domain was mapped in my other wordpress account. However, I deleted it in my another account. And I want to add it in my second wordpress account. Now it shoes me this error ‘This domain was recently in use by someone else and is not available to map yet. Please try again later or contact support.’
Is anyone can help to solve it?
Kind Regards,

Hi Yutong –
I’ve had a look and can see that the domain mapping upgrade for http://1423.co.uk/ and the premium plan have both been cancelled and refunded from the other account. You should be able to add the mapping on the correct site and account at this point.
If it does not work tell me what WordPress.com free site the mapping should be connected to.
Don’t forget you’ll need to add a personal plan (at minimum) to that site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

Hi there,
I tried add it again. But it shows me the same error. I have upgraded both my wordpress accounts to premium plan. Can you help to fix this problem?

Yes, I will try from my end. Do you want me to add the mapping on to winsdor58247779.wordpress.com or a different site?

Hi there,
I need to help to map my domain into my wordpress account emergently. Is there anyone can help?

So, the problem is that a different WordPress.com user mapped the domain originally and then canceled it 6 days ago.
To prevent domain hijacking, there is a 14 day period during which no other WordPress.com user can map it. So, you currently only have 2 options:
1. Wait 8 days and register the domain mapping under the account you’re currently logged into.
2. Log in under the account the originally purchased the domain mapping and map the domain again.
