  Can anyone advise? I wanted to have the blog/website converted to the business version, but cannot find a working upgrade/buy link.

  This is NOT a WordPress.COM hosted blog and you cannot purchase any upgrade here for any blog that is not hosted here at WordPress.COM. Are clear on that?

  If you are logged in under a WordPress.COM username account and you want to purchase a Business upgrade for a WordPress.COM hosted blog then I can help with that.

  WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

  See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ offered by WordPress.com.

  Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
  Business bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and purchase upgrades at > Store > My Upgrades
  Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
  Your options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  Note that the free plan and the Premium plan do not allow you to upload your own themes or plugins. WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions unless they have the $299. per year Business upgrade. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ecommerce-is-now-available-on-wordpresscom?replies=1

  Hi timethief,

  Thanks for the response; how can you tell it is not hosted by wordpress? I thought the wordpress.com suffix meant exactly that?!

  Do I need to create another user name?

  Thanks you

  Hi there,

  The site http://bodyworksfc.com/ already has a subscription to the WordPress.com Business plan, purchased by the administrator/owner of the site. (Your account bodyworksgym isn’t an administrator on the site — if the site’s administrator/owner is having trouble with that plan, please ask them to contact us for more help managing it.)

  Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns about that!
