Yes you plugins are available but I guess I can only install them with a business plan?
And the same goes for other plugins too.
Right?

Correct, plugins, including TOC plugins can only be installed on a WordPress.com site via the Business Plan.

Just one more thing. I think my primary domain is still bricabrac892?
As I said I tried changing it and the new name showed up in one email. So wanted to be sure.

Yes, it is still the primary domain, but you can change that by visiting https://wordpress.com/me/account while logged into your WordPress.com account.

Thanks!

I’ve got the refund into my account.

Thanks again. Now please let me know how I can get the first free year for domain name registration.

I thought domain name was free with personal plan for the first year? Why is it asking me to pay for domain name registration.

Please share the exact steps because I don’t want to goof up again.

A domain is included free for the first year if you buy a plan. Year two you pay for domain and for plan. If you have been refunded for a plan you only have a free plan with the free subdomain https://bricabrac892.wordpress.com/

Thank you.
But the last time I tried to upgrade this is what happened –

I was charged INR 2400 for my plan with no option for registering my domain name.
Then when I tried to register my domain name I was asked to pay INR 1350 additionally for the plan

Here is the link to the previous thread in this regard –

I’d really appreciate if you could give me step by step instructions on how to upgrade with free domain name.

Thanks.

I’d like to upgrade to the personal plan with free domain name.

What was the dpmain name you wished to change to? bricabac ending in .com or .net are both already taken. This thread has been tagged for further staff assistance.

I’ve added a personal plan to bricabrac892.wordpress.com. Click on My Sites – Domains – Add
and register the domain you wish there. Write back once the domain has been successfully added and I will email you a payment form.

I had selected .com why did it get registered as .in?

Someone already registered blogyourniche. com back in Dec 2019.

@bricabrac892, if the domain you are looking for is not available, you will see some other suggestions. There is no need, however, to agree to the suggested one, you can look for other alternatives.
You have confirmed and registered blogyourniche.in, this can’t be changed. If you are not happy with that domain name, you will want to cancel and register a new one.

I would like to have a .com domain.

The actual name I chose was blogyourniches.com

I have no idea how or why it changed.

If it was unavailable it would not have shown in the options would it?

Hi there,

That domain is available, so you should be able to choose it: https://whois.domaintools.com/blogyourniches.com

Are you not seeing it as an option when trying to add it?
bricabrac892 · Member · May 18, 2020 at 4:55 pm

That’s the one I selected.

Can you go to this page and see if you see the correct domain listed in the cart?
https://wordpress.com/checkout/blogyourniche.in

It lists the .in address at the top because that is the current primary domain. But on the side you should see:

Domain Registration – annual subscription
blogyourniches.com

Thanks supernovia
I wish I could send you a screenshot of what I see –

Yes it shows blogyourniche.in in the address bar.
On the page itself it asks for payment of 1260 for registering domain name.

I wonder if you are aware about the issue that occured with this domain name?
I’ve been trying to get the free domain with first year of personal plan. I believe the personal plan has been attached to my website. I just have one account on WP so it should be simple enough.

Here are the links to previous conversations in this regard –

I think there are 3 different threads.

Request you to please check and let me know the next steps.

Thanks.

Yes, you will need to pay for the additional domain but we can refund that amount once we cancel the blogyourniche.in.

If this is what you want, you can continue with the purchase and let us know here once you’re done. Be sure you are registering the correct domain.

If you want to send us a screenshot, you can use an online tool for that (such as https://snipboard.io/), and paste here the link.
