  I set up my blog at depaulorg.wordpress.com. Now, I would like to map it to a subdomain of my website, http://www.depaul.org. The manager of the domain has added the correct information to our CNAME record, I have bought the domain subscription, and added in “blog.depaul.org”, but all I get is an error page when transferring to the new subdomain. I’m not sure how to fix this.

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

  It can take 24 to 72 hours for changes to reach the far corners of the internet and you just did the mapping – you have almost everything set correctly

  Oops, No Primary Site Set

  There is no primary domain set for depaulorg.wordpress.com. This means that although blog.depaul.org will forward to the site, blog.depaul.org will appear in the browser address bar.

  Thank you for responding. So I updated the primary domain to blog.depaul.org, and it seems like I just need to wait. We’ll see if it works. Thank you!
