  When I visit livingstonfarm.wordpress.com, everything appears to be displaying correctly. Are you experiencing this error with a different URL?

  Our website is http://www.livingstonfarm.com – that is where the error message shows up

  livingstonfarm.com does not appear to have been registered through WordPress.com, nor is it currently mapped to any WordPress.com websites. Can you try contacting your domain registrar to make sure your ownership of this domain is up-to-date?

  We have had the website for over a year and a half now and I update it through wordpress from time to time. It wasn’t until recently that our site stopped appearing. I no longer have contact with the individual who originally set it up. How do I renew it ?
  Thank-you

  It looks like this domain was registered with GoDaddy.com and is currently expired. (Please see this link for more information.)

  The domain registrar, in this case GoDaddy, should be able to help you resolve this problem.

  It looks like the person who acquired the website for us let it expire and didn’t inform us. I am going to purchase a new domain name – how do I go about transferring our website to the new domain name? Thank-you, Kate Livingston

  It’s possible to purchase a new domain name right from the Store → Domains page inside your WordPress.com blog dashboard.

  If you already purchased the domain through another registrar, then you can map the domain by updating the name server settings first and then purchasing a domain mapping upgrade from the same Store → Domains page in your blog dashboard.
