  Hi,

  I have a domain and would like to know if the following scenario is possible:

  I have a ‘example.com/blog’ domain which redirects to my wordpress URL. Is it possible to have it so instead my domain (only at the /blog route!) would map to my wordpress URL, for example ‘example.com/blog/2019/05/28/my-blog-post’ ?

  Thank you

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

  Hi –

  I want to make sure that I’ve understood the question correctly before giving a reply. You’d like to set things up so that yourdomain.com redirects to an individual post like yourdomain.com/blog/2019/05/28/my-blog-post ?

  Hi,

  Thanks for your response. Not exactly. What I mean is that I’d like my domain.com/blog to direct to my WordPress domain (at the moment I’m just using a free one blueprintchris.wordpress.com) but instead of the URL in the address bar changing to the WordPress URL, my domain stays intact at the top.

  So for example:

  domain.com/blog -> blueprintchris.wordpress.com
domain.com/blog/2019/05/28/my-blog-post -> blueprintchris.wordpress.com/2019/05/28/my-blog-post
domain.com/blog/categories/gaming -> blueprintchris.wordpress.com/categories/gaming

  I hope that is clear enough this time.

  Many thanks

  Hi there,

  To achieve what you’re describing you’ll need to map your domain to your WordPress.com site. However, mapping to a domain’s subdirectory is not supported on WordPress.com. You can only map it to a subdomain (e.g. blog.domain.com). You can read more about that and how to set it up here:

  Hi,

  Thanks for this. What is the minimum paid subscription tier that allows this feature?

  Hi Chris,

  You’ll need at least our Personal Plan in order to map a subdomain.
