  Hello,
  I have bought the domain TapDesYeps.com so I can make my website that instead of ‘tapdesyeps.wordpress.com’ how do I remove this. Do I need to pay or just buying the domain works? The domain is connected so when you type ( http://www.tapdesyeps.com ) it brings you to the site. But once on the site the domain is tapdesyeps.wordpress.com hwo do I remove this! Help!

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

  Hi @alfman114,

  1. Go to “My Sites”
  2. Click “Domains”
  3. You should see 2 domains listed: tapdesyeps.com and tapdesyeps.wordpress.com

  4. Click the button that says “CHANGE PRIMARY”
  5. Choose the radio button in front of “tapdesyeps.com”

  Done! You will see “tapdesyeps.com” in the address bar always, no more wordpress.com in the name.

  – bests,

  Hello, I cant find “Domains” is it because I'm only admin on the site do I need to be owner? And also how do I center the site?

  Or does it have something to do with it being a free site?

  Aah,

  Now I see that you have registered domain outside wordpress.com and wish to point it to your site on wordpress.com

  This guide will help you do that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  You will have to upgrade WordPress.com plan at least to “Personal plan” to be able to do the domain mapping.
