  I want to transfer the domain ‘chloeharvey.wordpress.com ‘ to a new user account.

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

  Please add that new user account to the blog that has that domain linked to it. Promote that new user to be an admin then post back here – we can then transfer the domain for you.

  Hi Mark. Thanks for the quick response.
  I need to create the new account with the domain name but it won’t accept it as I already have the domain in my current account.

  Should I delete it in my current account first? I am afraid I will loose the domain name.

  I originally set up the domain “chloeharvey.wordpress.com” for my daughter in my own account. I want to register her own account with this domain name.

  Am I making sense?

  Thanks for your assistance.

  John.

  Don’t delete anything.

  Create the new account with a free wordpress.com blog of any random name, then Invite them to the domain you want to give them.

  I’m sorry. I am not familiar with inviting to domains?
  I’ll set up the account with the random name in the meantime.

  Thanks

  Hi Mark.
  I have set up an account for my daughter with a random domain name and have invited her to the domain as an administrator.

  Where to from here?

  Thanks
  John.

  Once she gets the invite and accepts she’ll be all set.
  Any problem though post her username here and I will fix it.

  Thanks Mark. I understand now how it works.
  I thought I would be able to give the domain “chloeharvey.wordpress.com” over to my daughter as her registration domain name.

  Thanks for your help.

  Regards
  John.
