  Hi,
  
  I had paid domain (mentalnihigijenicar.com), renewed at the beginning of the year. Now, when i enter that domain, it changes and become mentalnihigijenicarblog.wordpress.com. Also, when sharing something from my blog, the domain which appears is the second one. Same thing whith Google search.
  
  I decide not to renew premium plan this year, only the domain, for which I paid and it is registered until 24.02.2024.
  

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

  Hi there!

  Your custom domain redirects to the WordPress.com address because the WordPress.com Premium plan expired. A WordPress.com plan is required to be able to set a custom domain as the primary address. Without that, sites are on a free plan, which does not support setting a custom domain as the primary address.

  Your site also becomes ad-supported on the free plan.

  Were you planning to upgrade to the Premium plan again later? If you’re looking for a cheaper option to set the domain as the primary address, you can switch to the Personal plan as well.

  After upgrading, you can follow the steps here to set your domain as the primary address. Ads will also be removed from your site as part of the WordPress.com Personal plan.

  Feel free to let us know if there’s anything else you need and we’ll be happy to help.
