I have a private domain. It is pointed to my WordPress Blog address successfully. My problem is that the dashboard for the site to which my domain points is not "live". I have to go to the old site at ....wordpress.com to access a "live" dashboard. Surely, this isn't proper. Can someone help? I have tried to contact the "office" about this but all those "happiness engineers" are off getting happy.
The blog I need help with is treetopviews.wordpress.com.
What is the private custom domain name you have the question about?
Did you map the domain name to your blog here?

If you have my-name.com mapped to my-name.wordpress.com you will always add content and edit the site at my-name.wordpress.com - the original Dashboard - your visitors will see my-name.com
That is the way domain mapping works
I have just now tried three times to ask exactly the same question - but instead of my question appearing, it says 'this topic has been closed. I don't know what I did wrong.
So, thanks for the question and the reply. I now understand why I did not have access to the new .org name, but still have access to the old wordpress.com name. I can't see any advice about this in the Support pages.
