  I have already unlocked the transfer. Do I NEED to transfer in order to modify with WordPress?

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Unknown
  Correct account: Unknown

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there,

  Transferring the domain is not required. You can continue to manage it through GoDaddy if you prefer.

  Here are some options for you to consider.

  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/
  https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/transfer-domain-registration/

  Optionally, you could also just use the free domain that WordPress.com provides you.

  I hope that helps.

  Cheers,
  Eric

  Bear in mind that to use your custom domain as a primary address (and to connect it, in general), you’d need one of our paid plans. You can read more about our plans here:
