Why does my domain not appear on my sites list?
-
A domain I have bought and mapped does not appear on my site. I want it as my primary site and I don’t know where it is!! Help, please
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It looks like you recently registered the custom domain bookcrafts.co and mapped it to tarotfile.wordpress.com.
You also have the custom domain tarotshaman.co which is mapped to nemosciat.wordpress.com.
Both domains are listed as the primary domains for the sites and should show up when you visit the sites.
Please let me know what you mean by the domain not appearing, and which domain you are having difficulty with, and I’d be happy to assist you further.

Hi Jackie – I want Tarotshaman and Bookcrafts to be linked. I don’t use nemosciat but don’t know how to delete it. Bookcrafts isn’t appearing on my IPad when I log in to WP.

I don’t use nemosciat but don’t know how to delete it.
First, to clarify: A custom domain name is simply that: A Name. It is not a website. It represents your website to the rest of the internet community, however. A domain name must be mapped to a WordPress.com site in order for you to view it. Your visitors will never see nemosciat.wordpress.com or tarotfile.wordpress.com. They will only see your custom domain names.
Your custom domain (tarotshaman.co), is connected to your WordPress.com site (nemosciat.wordpress.com). If you want to delete your WordPress.com site, that is fine, however, you must chose what you want to do with tarotshaman.co first. I can transfer it over to tarotfile.wordpress.com, or you can start another WordPress.com site and I can transfer it there. A domain name needs to be connected to a website.
Bookcrafts isn’t appearing on my IPad when I log in to WP.
Are you using the WordPress app to log in? To view bookcrafts.co, you will access the Dashboard via tarotfile.wordpress.com. You’ll always access your sites via the WordPress.com name, rather than the custom domain name.
I hope this clears up some of the issues. Just let me know how to proceed and I can help your further. Thanks so much!

Hi, thanks for your clear explanation and patience! Yes, I would like Tarotshaman.co to be mapped to Tarotfile and for Nemosciat to be deleted. Am I correct in thinking that then both Tarotshaman.co and Bookcrafts.comwill be linked to that site and I can set Bookcrafts as the primary domain name?
Kind regards, Angela -
Hi again Angela! Thank you for the follow-up!
What I’ve done is moved your domain, so now both tarotshaman.co and bookcrafts.co are linked to tarotfile.wordpress.com.
The Primary Domain for your site has been updated to bookcrafts.co. Your visitors will now be redirected to your new URL. (Some visitors may still see the old URL for a few hours, until their caches update.) If you ever want to change your primary domain back to tarotshaman.co, you can do so by clicking Store → My Domains in your site’s Dashboard.
If you want to permanently delete your site (nemosciat.wordpress.com), follow the guide below:

Please read the warnings and advice before deleting a site, as we can’t revert a site deletion for any reason.
If you want to hide your site instead, you can use the following guide to make your site private so only you and other members of the site can view it when logged in:

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks very much!

Just to say a huge “thank you” for dealing so promptly and patiently with what I’m sure was really a very basic issue.
