  I’ll need to transfer a recently purchased domain within wordpress. I bouhgt the domain to my other site and thought that I can publish in one service my two different sites. So now I created a new service/area for the other sites and would like to connect my domain here.

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

  Hi,

  All you need to do is “map” your existing domain:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Remember to set the primary domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#setting-the-primary-domain

  Happy blogging!

  Thanks Heliodore,

  but that gives an error:

  Sorry but galleriaonepoint.com is already mapped to a WordPress.com blog.

  It looks like galleriaonepoint.com is redirected to onepointlife.com

  Does it belong to you?
