  I want to map my WordPress account to a domain name that I already own. Another WordPress account had been mapping to the same domain name but the owner notified me that she cancelled the mapping on December 7th. As of today, the domain name is still appearing as not available for mapping.

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

  I can look into this for you. What is the URL of the domain in question?

  I’m afraid the issue is that the owner of the existing Domain Mapping upgrade for that domain did not cancel it. If you can contact them ans ask them to post here to this forum thread, I can help you get it sorted out.

  Hello, I am the owner of the existing domain mapping upgrade for http://www.pursuedbytruth.com. Could you assist me in cancelling it? Thank you.

  Thank you for taking the time to post here. I have removed that upgrade.

  Can you give mapping another try and let me know what happens?

  I tried to add it, it now says: “This domain was recently in use by someone else and is not available to map yet. Please try again later or contact support.” Do you know how long I need to wait?

  Hmmm, that is odd. Can you give it another try? If it does not work, I will set it up and send you a manual payment link.

  I have added the domain mapping upgrade for pursuedbytruth.com to your WordPress.com site. It currently will expire on the 31st. You should be able to renew it however.

  Let me know if you have any trouble.
