Using purchased wordpress.com domain on blogger
-
Hi Support!
I have the same problem with nicoladonovan06 above. I also want my newly purchased domain from wordpress point to my blogger site. It’s not clear to me how this issue was solved. Appreciate if anyone from the staff could lend a hand. My wordpress domain is: GUERRILLAFOREXTRADING.COM.

You can set your A records to point to Blogger by following the instructions here:
https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/1734119?hl=en&ref_topic=1734115
Please note, your domain will still be registered with WordPress.com although it will be pointed elsewhere. In order for the domain to work correctly, you will need to renew the domain registration each year or set it to renew automatically. You can manage renewal options through your Upgrades link here:

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Hi pmciano! Many thanks to your reply. Blogger’s settings provide the following IP adds:
216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21.However, I can only place the first IP add. When I click quick add to key in the other IPs, they seem to be rejected.
Also at the bottom of the window, I added ghs.google.com next to www. Can you please confirm if I’ve done it right?

You did an excellent job! Everything looks great:
If you have any other questions regarding WordPress.com, please let us know :-)

Thanks for being very helpful pmciano. I also thought I did it right and it worked well for a moment. But now the link is pointing back to wordpress? :( What could have been the problem?

It still looks good to me:
Can you please try clearing out your cache and cookies?
If you are still having a problem, let me know, and we can take the next troubleshooting step, once I get more feedback.

I have just purchased http://www.towardyoga.com which points to towardyoga.wordpress.com
I am having the same issues, in that I want the domain name mapped to
towardyoga.blogspot.com
so that if you type URL – http://www.towardyoga.com
or
towardyoga.com
you land on: towardyoga.blogspot.com
again I cannot work out how to change the CName AND add in the WWW and I’m really frustrated.
The name codes from blogger are:
www ghs.google.com
I’m more than happy to keep this domain hosted at wordpress, just need this domain mapped to blogger
Many thanks, I’m going nuts!

I have made the required changes on our end.
Please make sure that you have completed the requisite changes on Blogger’s side.
Specifically, complete step 11:

Once this is done, please wait at least 24 hours for the changes to take effect.
If you are still having issues after this period passes, let us know, and we will troubleshoot the issue until it is resolved.

Many thanks, really appreciated. Still getting error message but I’ll keep checking as per the instructions
Kind regards

The records were correctly entered, and in 24-48 hours, the change should be effective.
Also, I’ve removed your unique CNAME token from your responses. This thread is public, and those values were meant for you alone.
Let us know if you have any more questions :-)

pmciano – thank you very much for your help, you were fast, efficient and courteous – please pass my feedback on to the powers that be.
Kind regards

No worries! I still have a problem. Google is indexing towardyoga.com at the top but it’s pointing to the dead wordpress page, coming up with a 404.
http://www.towardyoga.com is fine, but towardyoga (without www) doesn’t seem to be sending it to the new page?
-
even searching for
site:www.towardyoga.com
is still sending it back with a 404
Is there a setting which has been missed?
-
(frustrating you cannot edit these posts, instead of adding more!) even going to http://towardyoga.com brings up a 404 too.
-
Can you please put robot.txt on towardyoga.wordpress.com to stop all indexing of wordpress pages, and fix the http://towardyoga.com to point at the correct site? thanks
-
I’ve resolved the issue. Now, your root domain, towardyoga.com is also pointing towards your Blogger site.
Let us know if you require further assistance.
