Domain-mapping no longer a standalone option?

    Hello,

    I have a site on the free where I purchase your domain mapping annual subscription for $13. I’m starting a new site and planned on doing the same, but it doesn’t give me the option to purchase just domain mapping without a Premium subscription for $99. Has this option been removed?

    I just tried it again and it showed me the option for $13 but then removed it in my cart before I was able to check out. Anyone know what’s going on?

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

    Stand alone upgrades were discontinued last year. Now we need to register a plan and the price has changed.

    You can use the Personal Plan, yes, but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.

    Go to My Site ->Plans and buy the Personal Plan, and then you can go back and claim your free domain at My Site ->Domains ->Add.

    How domain mapping works
    Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
