I've sent you an email to discuss this further in private.

Using a third party for a service I paid Worpress.com for is unbelievable. I suggest WordPress.com start accepting incoming domain transfers or be able to offer instructions to make the mapping work as a better business practice. I've seen I'm not the only one in the forums with this problem. I'm very unsatisfied with this solution.

The easiest solution would be for you to transfer your domain to a third-party domain registrar, and then update the name servers to point them to WordPress. There are many registrars to choose from.

If you need any further help, just let me know.

Currently WordPress explains how to change server names in the A records.
Wix only allows for a change in the IP address in the A records, the server name is fixed.
Wix offeres a transfer code, that I do not see any indication of having any use on WordPress.

Macmanx's instructions are for the reverse - moving from WordPress.com to another provider.

Those are two mutually exclusive things. If Wix accepts incoming domain transfers, you would start the transfer process at their end, following their instructions. We don't need any code input at the WordPress end.

If, on the other hand, you want to keep your domain registered through WordPress but point your A record to Wix, let me know and I can help you set it up. To do that, please confirm the A record IP address that Wix has instructed you to use. Thanks.

Once you're logged in, click on the domain name you want to edit." This takes me to my site (which is down and still hosted by wix)
"3. Under Nameservers, click on "Set Nameservers". " I can not get to this.

I asked wix to transfer my domain and they gave me a transfer code... and there is no where on the wordpress website to use it. Please help me transfer my wix domain.
