    I purchased a plan with wordpress and bluehost simultaneously to host and build my website. The wordpress website url is different from my bluehost url. How can I make these the same without having to pay for another annual fee?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Please let me know the address of your WordPress and your Bluehost site, so I can better understand what’s going on and further help you.

    Wordpress site is http://www.blacktieproductionsmt.Wordpress.com

    Blue host is
    http://www.blacktieproductionsmt.com

    I’ve already paid for a yearly subscription membership back in June that was advertised as both WordPress software and blue host that came with a free domain for a year. I just don’t want to pay for another subscription when I already have one. I’ve tried logging into my WordPress through my blue host account but it keeps directing me to a white screen with an error message.

    This is what it says:

    #updater for WordPress.c
    om themes if (is admin) include dirname( FILE). /inc/updater.php’

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the additional info. I think it will help if I clarify that we are not directly connected to Bluehost, and we are separate companies that offer WordPress sites to the public.

    Because of this, the offer you purchased on Bluehost does not apply to your site set up here on WordPress.com. We are not able to see the full details of the subscription you have with them, but to use it you will essentially need to migrate off of WordPress.com and onto Bluehost.

    If this is not what you had in mind, you may instead wish to contact Bluehost and ask if they are able to offer you a refund, and then we can help you with the upgrade on this end. If you go that route please be careful to not cancel blacktieproductionsmt.com (which is permanent) but instead ask to keep that active and we can assist you in the steps to transfer it to your WordPress.com account.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
