    I have my own domain name registered until 2025. when I click on it bethchristie.org it tells me that I need to renew my wordpress site. I have tried to do this but I can’t seem to get a renewal page for the renewal package I was on.

    when I search my purchase history I can see the £85 fee coming off every year. But it looks like my payment card expired so the renewal didnt happen automatically.

    I’ve added a new card today. Can I have the renewal taken off of that card and my site restored?

    Or can I be sent a new renewal link to the £85 annual renewal package I was on?

    Thanks

  • Hi there!

    I had a look at your account, and I see you used to have plan Premium and a domain connection. That means your domain wasn’t registered here but connected to your WordPress.com site. Since your subscriptions expired, the domain was disconnected from the site. That’s why the custom address does not work anymore and you can only access your site by going to bethchristieorg.wordpress.com.

    To be able to reconnect the domain back to your site, you’d need to upgrade to a paid plan again. We’ve just modified our plan offer, though, so it’s not possible to purchase Premium again:

    https://wordpress.com/pricing/.

    Our new Pro plan will give you more features and let you connect the domain free of charge.

    ok – so if I take out the pro plan will the website start up again. do I need to do anything else to reinstate it?

    I’m concerned that I’ve lost all of my pages of content

    If I do this today will it all happen automatically or do I need to do anything
    else.

    thanks – and thanks for the advice.

    Welcome

    Can you confirm that’s the correct site?

    If so, you can repurchase that plan and that should fix things.

    However, looking at your account, you purchased Pro for bethchristie475868111.wordpress.com instead of bethchristiedotorg.wordpress.com. Would you like us to move that plan to the correct site?

  • Unknown's avatar

    yes can you move it as I want it for the website – the one with all of the pages that had been built since about 2018/19.

    thanks

    I’m also not sure why the title of the page is like that. Now that I have purchased the pro plan will it link to my domain – bethchristie.org – as it did before?

    Or do I need to do something else to set that up again?

    Thanks

  • Hi there,

    yes can you move it as I want it for the website – the one with all of the pages that had been built since about 2018/19.

    I have successfully moved bethchristie.org to bethchristiedotorg.wordpress.com.

    I’m also not sure why the title of the page is like that. Now that I have purchased the pro plan will it link to my domain – bethchristie.org – as it did before?

    Or do I need to do something else to set that up again?

    You will need to set bethchristie.org as your primary domain so that your custom domain is showing instead of bethchristiedotorg.wordpress.com.

    For instructions on setting up your primary domain, please visit our support page here:

    Thanks!

    Thanks.

    I’ve just transferred my domain to wordpress so that I can set it as my primary site. But I’ve been charged £15 to do this. I thought the service was free with my proplan?

    Can you check that if this payment will be refunded?

    the domain is still transferring but once it has transferred then I’m assuming I can set this as my primary site and all will be working.

    Thanks

  • Hi there,

    I can see you have two sites on our account, but it seems that your domain is associated with one site, and the plan is with your other site.

    https://bethchristie475868111.wordpress.com/
    https://bethchristiedotorg.wordpress.com/

    Can you visit those two sites and confirm for me which one should have both the domain and Pro plan on it? Happy to get things moved where they need to go and then refund you for the domain cost, which should have been free under your plan.

    Thanks for confirming.

    Hi

    Both the domain and the pro plan should be on

    Welcome

    I’m not sure if the other account (https://bethchristie475868111.wordpress.com/ was set up when I tried to renew the account above. If it is was then I can delete it to avoid confusion.

    The one I am trying to get active again is https://bethchristiedotorg.wordpress.com/
    and I’m trying to get my domain transferred to it is can be called:

    bethchristie.org

    Thanks

  • Hi Beth,

    The one I am trying to get active again is https://bethchristiedotorg.wordpress.com/
    and I’m trying to get my domain transferred to it is can be called:

    bethchristie.org

    I’ve moved the Pro plan to that site and made bethchristie.org the primary address.

    Also, I’ve refunded you the domain transfer purchase as that’s included for free in the Pro plan.

    I’m not sure if the other account (https://bethchristie475868111.wordpress.com/ was set up when I tried to renew the account above. If it is was then I can delete it to avoid confusion.

    Looks like you created that site by accident. If you want, you can delete it by following these instructions:

    Thank you I have been able to delete it now.
