  I accidentally mapped a domain name I own to my wordpress account. I need to remove it because I don’t want wordpress managing my DNS stuff. How do I get my machie.org unmapped from my wordpress account?

  Thanks

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

  What I would like is to map a sub domain to my wordpress. I want redirect blog.machie.org to my wordpress acccount. But I still want my registrar to keep my DNS management.

  Hi there,

  I’ve removed your mapping upgrade and restored the free domain credit on your plan so you can map the subdomain instead.

  Note that you will also need to create the subdomain using a CNAME record at your domain provider. You’ll need to add a CNAME for blog. pointing to jamesmachiejr.wordpress.com. More details here:

  Also note that as part of your Personal Plan you can get help with stuff like this via live chat, 24 hours during weekdays, at this link:

  Should all chat operators be busy, that link will let you submit an email ticket instead.

  I already have a CNAME setup in my DNS that points to here. Thank you for fixing this for me.
