Go to https://wordpress.com/domains/manage/mydomain/edit/mydomain > DNS records\r\n2. Click Add New DNS Record\r\n3. Under \"Type\" select A record\r\n4. Under \"Points To\" add an IP address \r\n5. The error happens under \"Name\" it will not work if left blank or with an \"@\" \r\n6. Cannot click \"Add New DNS Record\"\r\n\r\nWill produce an error under Name that says \"Invalid Name\"\r\n\r\nI was able to add the A record from the WP Admin Domain Manager using @.\r\n\r\nUsers are also unable to add MX records with blank or \"@\" values.
