  We recently transferred the domain name http://www.thesportsbloggers.com and the website didn’t follow. All of the articles written are still under the original owners wordpress. Can we transfer everything to new owner? The old owner does not have the back up files for the website.

  Thank You,

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

  There is no domain mapping upgrade for thesportsbloggers.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping. Please provide the .wordpress.com URL for the underlying blog in question in the form of an active link starting with http://

  What is the username account of this new owner?

  Hi there!

  Sorry to hear about the trouble you’re having. Could you please provide the URL of the website you’re transferring from? Was it originally hosted on WordPress.com? Looking forward to hearing back from you! Cheers. :)

  Alright, thanks! I can see now that the site you’re transferring from wasn’t hosted on WordPress.com. In that case, my ability to provide you any assistance is limited. You may try posting your questions at the WordPress.org support forums:

  Or try contacting your webhost’s support team:
