  I purchased a new domain name intending it to be thegardenofyourheart.com however, it appeared thegardenofyourheart.wordpress.com. How can I correct this?

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

  Hi there! It looks like you have not purchased the domain thegardenofyourheart.com yet. You can do that here:

  https://wordpress.com/domains/register/thegardenofyourheart.wordpress.com

  I have already been charged the $99 for it. I made the purchase just a few minutes before posting the initial question (which I apparently needed to correct the ‘blog I need help with’). I went to the link and it is asking for more money. The name of the site should be The Garden Of Your Heart, and the domain should be (was meant to be) thegardenofyourheart.com.

  Yep! We’re not able to register the domain at the same time as you purchase the Premium plan. When you go to the link I gave you above, you will not be asked to pay again.

  I went to the link. I think I did it correctly by adding a domain name, then changing the new name to be the primary. Honestly, I was rather confused while going through the steps. Nothing was confirmed during the process, as if it assumed I knew exactly what I was doing when if fact, I am only hoping I did it correctly. Thanks for the help.

  Thanks for that feedback! I’ll walk through those steps and make some suggestions to our devs. :)

  At any rate, your domain is registered and set up correctly now!

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!
