  I accidentally chose the free WordPress domain that has ‘wordpress.com’ attached to my domain name. I don’t want that domain bc I’ve already purchased a domain from godaddy.com. When I try to select the option that’s supposed to let me add my domain, I’m led back to my WordPress domain. How do I delete the free domain and use the one that I purchased?

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

  Hi @greensnthingsliz,

  If you want to use the domain you purchased from GoDaddy, the following support page will help you.

  Hi there, you shouldn’t delete the base wordpress.com domain because you need to map your domain to it.

  Once you have a paid upgrade plan in order to map the domain, here’s how to proceed: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Let us know if you run into any problem or have a question.

  In general you can find all the information about working with your WordPressdotcom site on our Support site at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
