We have already gone through both guides.

The problem is that we do not have the options mentioned in the guides. There is no link/button to "Domain Administration" nor “Cancel Private Registration”. It seems as though the guides do not apply to our version/installation of wordpress. Could this be the case?

On our receipt it says that the domain came free as part of a bundle, could it have something to do with this?

Can we transfer our domain away from wordpress.com to our own registrar, even though we do not have these options in our dashboard? If so, how?

Thank you in advance.

We would like to unlock the free domain ( loyal-solutions.com ), which came included in our purchase of a Value Bundle last year, so we can use another registrar for the domain and another host for the website. Having gone through all the documentation on support.wordpress.com and different fori on the internet without finding an answer as to how we can do it, we hope you can help us. It seems we dont have the option to unlock the domain in our Dashboard. On the wordpress support page in the guide "Transfer a domain to another registrar" it talks about "cancel private registration" and "Domain Administration", both of we can not find in our dashboard.

We hope you can help.
Many thanks in advance

I registered a .com domain name with wordpress for $25. However, I did not realize that I could not upload a custom theme on the normal .com domain. I then looked on the wordpress website for the recommended web hosts and decided to go with Laughing Squid. I signed up with laughing squid, but then afterward, I was told that I cannot change transfer the domain to the independent web host for 60 days. Is this true? In essence, I want to set up a blog at a .com domain, with a custom theme, and webhosting through laughing squid, but I don't know how to do that now that I've already purchased the domain through wordpress.com. I am very new to wordpress and to website creation in general, but I'm trying to learn, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I would like to know what does "receiving registrar" means? I am not very savvy with such technical stuffs.

That is the domain registrar that you are paying to transfer the domain to.

A couple of hours ago, the Greek registrar dissaprooved the domain name transfer application with this reason: "Canceled - The current registrar has rejected transfer (please contact them for details)."
What's wrong? The domain name is not private and I followed all standard procedure steps required to complete this transfer.

I really need "lesvosnews.net" to be transferd ASAP to the Greek registrar, as we're more than 4 days behind our schedule (a domain transfer process takes 2-5 days to be completed, not 7) and this is starting to cause serious problems (and financial losses as well) to our team.

Please check my issue - I really need to receive information about why this cancellation happened and what we can do to complete the domain name transfer as soon as possible and fix this inconvenience.

If possible, I would appreciate if you could also send all responses & necessary technical information to this email address: info at orion-web.gr, the IT company we collaborate with.

I would like to know what does "receiving registrar" means? I am not very savvy with such technical stuffs.

I did get the authorisation code emailed to me, and my domain has been unlocked. I just don't know what else could be going wrong, and the only thing I could come up with is the "private registration" part. But under Store > My Upgrades, it says "enable private whois" so I believe I do not have private registration. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, can I know how do I check what is my registrar site for my domain?

Thanks!
