As far as I’m aware, all plans other than free are billed yearly.
Which paid feature are you looking to keep?

Hi ouraussieadventure17,
Our plans are a yearly subscription so it won’t be possible to only purchase one for just 2 months. You are currently using the Free plan so there are no additional costs to pay.
Do you want to upgrade in order to use a particular feature?

Thanks for replying.
I am wanting to add photos to the blog but that’s the only “feature” needed for the next 2 months. Is there an alternative to either upgrading or ceasing thd blog? -
If you are resizing and optimizing your images prior to uploading them, the 3GB included in the free site should last you the 2 months. Here’s more on that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/image-optimization/
If by chance you do run out of storage space (unlikely if you resize and optimize first) you can also sign up for free to CloudUp.com, another Automattic service, where you can add up to 1000 images and then embed them in your WordPressdotcom site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/embedding-media-with-cloudup/ The only caveat there is that embedded images can’t be used as Featured images or in the Gallery feature.

Thanks for the info. I’m far from being tech savvy. Can i delete photos previously used from my images and therefore reduce the 3GB? If so, will the photos disappear when family members want to view our blog in the future?
Thanks again for any info.

Thanks for asking beforehand! Deleting images *will* delete them from their corresponding posts.

Hi,
There’s another option… optimizing your images. That way you’ll be able keep most if not all of your photos.
Some info on that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/image-optimization/
I hope that helps.

Hi connorsdomain889,

I’m afraid not, extra storage space is only included in paid plans. You are currently using 181.6 MB out of your available 3.0 GB, which is 6% of your total storage space. So you have plenty of space available for now.
As justjennifer mentioned, you can optimise images to save space. Only delete images if they are no longer needed — once an image has been deleted from your media library it is completely removed from your site and we won’t be able to recover it.
