  Hi there,

  I can see you’re looking to replace your default WordPress.com address (cyriacpj2000-fhcdz.wordpress.com) with a custom domain, and I’d be happy to point you in the right direction.

  Before we proceed, could you let me know whether the custom domain you’re looking to use is already owned by you and registered with another provider, or if you’re looking to register a new domain through WordPress.com?

  I also noticed that “wood &timber.store” doesn’t appear to be a valid domain format, as domain names cannot contain spaces or the “&” character. Could you share the exact domain address you’d like to use?

  The first step to using a custom domain as your site’s primary address is to upgrade your site to a paid plan. You can find the available plans by going to Upgrades -> Plans from your dashboard and upgrade instructions here: https://wordpress.com/support/manage-purchases/upgrade-your-plan/

  Once that’s done:

  • If you already own the domain and want to connect it to your WordPress.com site, follow this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  • If you’d like to register a new domain through WordPress.com, you can do so by following these steps:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/register-domain/

  As an added benefit, our yearly plans include a free domain credit that can be used to register a new domain for the first year at no additional cost, or to transfer an existing domain and extend its registration by an additional year. More details are available here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/register-a-free-domain/

  Once you have both an eligible plan and your domain connected or registered, you can set it as the primary address for your site using the steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/set-a-primary-address/

  Let me know if you have any questions!
