Hi,

I have a domain hosted by OVH (cathy-nebodon.fr) and i would like to map it with my site hosted by Wordpress.com (cathynebodonfr.wordpress.com). But i struggle !

I follow all the infos from this support page :
https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

– The OVH domain has been added and selected as primary on WordPress.com.
– The OVH Domain’s Name Servers has been mapped to WordPress.com like in the doc.
– I wait one week for the OVH propagation (dns)

But i end up with a redirect to OVH Login when i try to access cathy-nebodon.fr or cathynebodonfr.wordpress.com

On the WordPress Settings it telling me that i have to configure the OVH domain… but i already did.

What’s wrong ? Am i missing a setting in OVH config ?

Thanks

```text you have a loop:
```text
curl --head https://cathynebodonfr.wordpress.com/
HTTP/2 301
location: http://cathy-nebodon.fr/
```
look at the configuration in wp.com ```

```text the DNS zone at wp.com is wrong:

```text
dig +nocmd +noall +answer cathy-nebodon.fr A @ns1.wordpress.com
cathy-nebodon.fr. 3600 IN A 213.186.33.5
dig +short -x 213.186.33.5 -> redirect.ovh.net

dig +nocmd +noall +answer www.cathy-nebodon.fr A @ns1.wordpress.com
www.cathy-nebodon.fr. 14400 IN CNAME cathy-nebodon.fr.
cathy-nebodon.fr. 3600 IN A 213.186.33.5
```
ask a re-initialization of the DNS zone to wp.com ```

OK , but i would like to access my site with 1nebodon.frnebodon.fr

In this side do i have a loop too ?

Thanks for your reply

If i understand correcly, your second answer, I have to delete my wordpress.com DNS config and re-initialize to the original state (when i access my site with cathynebodonfr.wordpress.com)

Am i right ?

Thanks

I understood well

call the wp.com support, all is there

```text > Wordpress.com et je n'ai pas de réponse.

par tchat?

> Le pire c'est qu'il nous demande de suivre la doc et elle semble ne pas être correcte.

ah?

dans ta zone tu devrais avoir quelque chose du genre:
```text
@ 300 IN A 192.0.78.24
@ 300 IN A 192.0.78.25

```
```
*.cathy-nebodon.fr. 14400 IN CNAME cathy-nebodon.fr. (alias wildcard)
```
donc
```
www.cathy-nebodon.fr. 14400 IN CNAME cathy-nebodon.fr.
```
est inutile ```
