Hi there, I need to map sligobid.ie to the site sligobid.wordpress.com. Domain is with Register365, looking through previous notes it seems that I need to contact support to help with it seems to be a common .ie issue.

On wordpress.com when trying to map the domain: Sorry but sligobid.ie has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped.

When changing the nameservers on register365 I receive:
Parameter value policy error. While checking Nameserver hostname for
nameserver: ns1.wordpress.com for domain: sligobid.ie ns1.wordpress.com is
not authoritative for zone sligobid.ie. etc

Helpp is appreciated, thank you.

Hi damonblake,

I’ve tagged this thread for staff review, so a member of the WordPress.com support team should be in contact with you.

You’re right about this being an issue with .ie domains. It seems that such domains have to be manually added by WordPress staff.

This should be sorted for you soon!

Hi there,

I was able to map sligobid.ie for you. You’ll still need to do a few things:

1) Purchase the subscription here by renewing:
https://wordpress.com/my-upgrades

2) If you haven’t done so already, point the domain to our name servers:

ns1.wordpress.com
ns2.wordpress.com
ns3.wordpress.com

3) After giving that a few hours to take effect, set the domain as primary under https://wordpress.com/my-domains

Let us know if you need more help!

Hi there, thank you for your help!

I followed your instructions, however the domain seems to be resting on my personal wordpress (blakingpoint.wordpress.com) and not the one that I requested (sligobid.wordpress.com), can this be corrected?

Much appreciated!

Hey there!

Sorry about that! The domain is not connected to your sligobid.wordpress.com WordPress site. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks!
