I'm trying to transfer my wordpress.com blog to a self-hosted wordpress.org. I have been paying mapping on the .com and I installed the WP software on that SAME domain. Now to export/import info I cannot access the wp-admin for WP.org because everytime that I enter the url it takes me to the wp.com blog. Do I have to cancel the mapping on .com to be able to access the admin at .org and import the info from the .com blog?
I hope there's not too many .com and .org to make it difficult to understand.

You need to speak to the folks over at wordpress.com.

Posted 7 months ago #thank you very much esmi, but they told me exactly the same at WP.com
maybe I can reformulate my question and say: how do i access my new wordpress.ORG admin info when I have already my domain mapped with something else? In this case wordpress.com
When I try to access http://www.mydomain.com where I installed the wordpress with bluehost it takes me to the WP.com blog because I paid them to do that.

You need to change name servers at registrar (wordpress.com if they registered your domain name.) so that your domain name points to blue host

I already changed my domain servers to point at BlueHost since yesterday.
When I erase the Cache I could finally access the .org account, but after a while it redirects again to WP.com I think the only way is to delete the mapping from WP.com to avoid that wp.com redirects the domain to their blog.
In any case I don't have to pay any fee for mapping since the wp.org software was installed on my domain right? So I don't need the mapping from wp.com

It takes a day or two to propagate fully in network

I´ll try to be patient and wait! it's still redirecting me to the old site, but apparently is now a servers problem, because I can reach it on some computers but not in others.
