theenemies is someone different, not storehousemvmt.

Thank you. I wish the documentation had been clearer. I read it all and did not read that WordPress doesn't accept incoming domain transfers.

Appreciate the feedback.

I'm facing similar challenges - those help pages only got me so far (they all have really negative user ratings!). As per the instructions for mapping an existing domain:

- I changed DNS settings on AussieHQ to use ns1.wordpress.com etc
- I changed my WordPress.com >> Store >> Domain settings to add intercutlural.com.au
- I mucked around in Google Apps to generate a verification code
- I added said verification code/metatag to WordPress.com >> Tools
- I went back to WordPress.com >> Store >> Domain >> custom DNS and generated DNS records based on my Google verification code

Whew! *But* no ta-da :(

bintercultural.wordpress.com now seems to be pointing to (old Joomla site) intercultural.com.au

I'm anxious that emails somename@ intercultural.com.au have not been disrupted & how to get my domains sorted?

Transferring a Domain to WordPress.com
We do not currently accept incoming domain transfers. If you already have a domain and you want to use it with your WordPress.com, follow the instructions for mapping an existing domain to your WordPress.com blog.

I had a domain name on godaddy.com called storehouse movement.com and a site on wordpress.com called storehousemvmt.com. I want to fully transfer this domain from go daddy.com to WordPress. I went through all the steps on the go daddy side, i.e., unlocked it and jettisoned it. But I cannot seem to associate it with my wordpress site. The instructions on the wordpress side seem to want me to mess with the name servers within my go daddy profile... which is not what I want.

I have the emails from go daddy indicating that the transfer is in process from their side but the WordPress side is stuck.

Thanks in advance for assistance.

domain name: storehousemovement.com
wordpress site: storehousemvmt.wordpress.com
