    Hi, any advice would be much appreciated with this issue.

    We own the domain to our site (.co.uk) but the site still directs itself to .wordpress.com

    The site works fine but I would rather the url just been displayed as our paid (.co.uk) domain as it looks more professional.

    Any advice most welcome!

    Thanks in advance.

    The blog I need help with is porttalbottown.wordpress.com.

    sorry - the site url in question is http://www.porttalbottown.co.uk

  3. Domain forwardingt does not change the URL - you need to domain map your name AND undo the forwarding you are doing now

    You will also need to add a zone record.

    dam, thanks for your reply but I have no idea whatsoever about doing this...

  5. Staff will need to add a zone record for porttalbottown.co.uk - I will flag this for them to help.

    You then follow the instructions in the link above to map the domain to your blog - cost $ 13.-- / year USD -

    After the zone record is added you change the name servers at your registrar then come back here and map the domain
