  I’m trying to launch my site lztyme.wordpress.com, but when I click the launch site button from the menu, it keeps on redirecting me to the make a domain page. I already have the lztyme.wordpress.com domain and I don’t want to make a new one, I just want to launch that site. How can I do this?

  I looked through other threads and saw that there should be a “skip purchase” option since I already have my lztyme.wordpress.com url, but there isn’t. screenshot of the page after I click “launch site” here https://lztyme.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/screen-shot-2020-09-14-at-7.49.50-pm.png

  Good effort. I fixed mine by removing a broken HTML link.

  Hi @tygabliz @sussexsmarts

  While launching the site, WordPress asks you if you want to purchase the domain or you want any of their paid plans for your site. But there is always an option to skip purchase or go with your free site.

  When you click on the launch site you will get a screen with title Give your site an address that is where WordPress.com is asking you if you want to connect a custom domain to your site if you want you can go and add a domain if not you can click the last option given there i.e skip the purchase. Here is the Screenshot of the screen:
  

  After that, there comes a screen which asks you to pick a plan that’s right for you. Here they are asking you if you need any additional feature in your site that is not under free plan then you can select the plan accordingly. If you are okay with the free plan you can just continue with your free site by clicking the continue with your free site link. Here is the Screenshot of the screen:
  

  Do let us know if you still have any doubts.

  Hope this helps.

  The “skip the purchase” link is no longer showing on the “Give your site an address” launch page. It shows in your screenshot, but is no longer on this web page as of Monday, 10/19/2020.

  @tygabliz,

  It looks like you managed to launch your site, as https://lztyme.wordpress.com/ is now public.

  
  @cevnm,

  What is the URL of the site you’re trying to launch?
