  I have checked the site which explained how to obtain one’s EPP code
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/
  But the interface shown in my wordpress is completely different and I am unable to find the Transfer Domain button.
  Please help me.
  My website: starvecleric.wordpress.com

  Good morning!
  What is it you are trying to do? Are you trying to bring a domain name you own from elsewhere? Are you trying to get http://starvecleric.wordpress.com/ to point someplace else?

  Please let us know what you want to do so we may be better able to help!

  Making sure i have this right –

  Do you want to move your WordPress.COM Blog to Bluehost, and the domain name to point to your newly moved blog?

  If you are on the free plan, thestarvecleric.wordpress.com stays forever with WordPress. You don’t get to move it elsewhere. But if you are moving away you now have the opportunity to create your very own domain name!

  WordPress.ORG is different than WordPress.COM, so do you have a self-hosted blog at someplace other than Bluehost that you want to move to Bluehost? I am asking because there are some differences between .COM and .ORG

  I know it’s all confusing, but i ask so that we may point you in the right direction.

  I already have a domain name and I would like to move the domain name over, that’s why I need the EPP code. I understand that WordPress.org is different for WordPress.com, and I am trying to move from .com to .org to be able to access more plugins to customize my website

  I’m just using the .wordpress.com link because I’ve been using it all along. I’ve already got a domain name starvecleric.com. I’m current using the premium plan

  Ok
  What are the differences you are seeing? As you follow the directions at https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/, at which screenshot, starting from the top, do you see the difference(s)? If you could take a screenshot of what you are seeing and share it that would help.

  Of course you could also just have WordPress do the move for you as outlined here:

  Hi there,

  The instructions as they appear in that support doc are correct.

  Click on My Site ->Domains, click on the domain itself, and select the Transfer option from the list.

  Click the blue button, and the code should be sent to you immediately.
