  I currently have WordPress.com. I have not yet mapped my domain name. I’ve found that WordPress.org may be better suited to my needs. Does the upgrade package of $99 upgrade me to WordPress.org or is there something else I need to do? Thank you in advance for your help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. Unless there has been a change in pricing, it looks like you are confusing upgrades.

  The “Pro” upgrade DOES NOT make you switch to WordPress.org. It’s just a bundle of upgrades and your blog is still hosted by WordPress.com.

  If you prefer WordPress.org, please read this. It explains how to do it yourself or how to have someone else do it for you (with the Guided Transfer upgrade)
