for some reason having a spelled out "dot" in the base WordPress.COM blog is a common error - don't know if the software has a bug in it or the way the registration software works makes operator issues (won't say operator errors since if the software leads you down the wrong road I don't blame the operator automatically)

My blog is now correctly mapped thanks to Coffeemanmatt. I'd buy you a cup of coffee in gratitude if I could. Have a great week. Julie

However, "auxclass" deserves the credits. Auxclass is the one who figured it out.

I've switched the domain mapping for you. julietrump.com is now mapped to your julietrump.wordpress.com blog. You may need to clear your browser cache and cookies to see the change.

When you make a new post, you use the julietrump.wordpress.com blog - what the domain mapping does is show the domain name julietrump.com in your browser's address bar instead of the julietrump.wordpress.com address. You can use either one to reach the blog.

If you have any more questions, please do let me know.

Thank you so much thebluegger for taking the time to figure it out! I am touched.

Coffemanmatt, If you, would change the mapping assignment...I would be eternally grateful. Please do.

Now I have to say I am confused. On what blog would I "new post." juleitrump.com or julietrump.wordpress.com? And would it automatically appear on the other?

Sorry to be so obtuse, I thought I understood until this. Now I am second-guessing.

Cheers!

Thank you for your help!!!!

thebluegger is absolutely right.

You have julietrump.com mapped to julietrumpdotcom.wordpress.com, not julietrump.wordpress.com. I can change the mapping assignment if you would like - just let me know. :)

Just to clarify on 'auxclass' point:

when one types julietrumpdotcom.wordpress.com into address bar, it is being redirected to julietrump.com

but you actually want, julietrump.wordpress.com redirected to julietrump.com ?

julietrumpdotcom.wordpress.com vs julietrump.wordpress.com

maybe the wrong blog was mapped?

I want to be able to type in my registered domain name julietrump.com -- which I paid WordPress to map -- and have my primary blog page come up. Right now, according to Domain Helper, my primary address is in fact julietrump.com. Yet my blog with published posts does not come up when I type in that URL. What comes up is the intro "Hello" page that is still attached to julietrump.wordpress.com. However, if I were to type julietrump.wordpress.com into the address bar, I would see my published posts (not the Hello Page). My Account Setting page does not even list julietrump.com as an option for choosing as my primary address. Only wordpress.com addresses.

So according to My Upgrades, http://www.julietrump.com is indeed my primary blog. Domain Helper verifies this. Yet I just published two posts and an "about" page on my primary blog. But, when I type in the URL julietrump.com, I get the "Hello World" intro page, which is at the julietrump.wordpress.com address. Yet when I type in julietrump.wordpress.com, the new posts appear. I noticed in my Account setting that there is no dropdown menu option to choose julietrump.com or ascensionconfidential.com (a secondary URL address that points to julietrump.com) There are only wordpress.com addresses. Please help. I have tried everything.

Thank you

Julie Trump

Now I have gone 4 months without renewing my domain name. My site had gone on an hiatus of sorts. Prior to renewing my domain name which I did about 5 minutes ago I saw that both thesourmashblog.com and my openID: kimmygrace.wordpress.com led to http://www.giftswithstyle.co.uk/categories/Gifts-for-Men/

I was quite confused by seeing this and figured renewing my domain name would help, but I saw no change.

So now my question is how exactly do I fix this?

sidenote:

I just received the email right now confirming and including the receipt for my purchase of domain mapping.
