  Hello. I hope I can help you. If your site is a free site then you are not able to add the www in front of the website address. You can verify that by logging in and then clicking the Domains option. There you will be able to change the address but when you try to add the www. in front it will give you a warning that only letters and numbers are accepted.

  To add the www in front would require you to upgrade your account to a paid plan which includes a domain name registration which would add the www prefix.

  I hope this helps.

  Cheers,

  – John

  Hello there,

  To add the www in front would require you to upgrade your account to a paid plan which includes a domain name registration which would add the www prefix.

  Just to clarify,

  Please note that WordPress.com automatically removes the “www” from all URLs.

  as stated in our support guide to registering a domain at https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/

  Let us know if you have any further questions.
