  Hi! I’m just newbie.

  I subscribed to free subscription plan and anytime I can upgrade my account. Now that I avail the free subscription, does it automatically my site is in live mode in the internet? Another, can I still change my background theme?

  The reason why I didn’t yet avail your paid subscription because I need tutorials on how to figure it out.

  Thanks.

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

  @timethief,

  Thank you for your response. And thank you for the links, I will understand and figure out this.

  So it means to say that my free site is already ‘live’ even though I didn’t managed to finish customizing or put something on my site? Because I don’t want my free site to be ‘live’ that I don’t put something yet. Is there a setting that I can put my free site ‘not on live mode’?

  You can mark your site as private and once you’ve finished up with the customization, you can make it public. You can change those visibility settings by following the instructions at https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  I am also a newbie here. How do I delete a topic from the support forum if I change my mind?

  @dauntlesswarrior14 I don’t think you can delete any content posted to the support forums. By the way, open a new forum thread whenever you’ve got to ask something new, as your issue and the OP’s issue aren’t the same.

  @4gn3l,

  Question, if I purchase a custom design which is featured in premium and business plan, will it be billed every month or one-time payment?

  Hi @jfbnlighten,

  You can perform a payment only annually on WordPress.com. Monthly payment isn’t supported currently on WordPress.com.

  I hope this information helps you.
  Thanks :)

  @hacchism,

  So its annually, no one-time payment for custom design.

  Thanks for the info.

  @jfbnlighten

  Yes! Custom Design is a feature of the Premium plan and the Business plan, and those plans are not by one-time payment. You need to renew them every year.
