Mapping a domain

    I recently purchased and registered a domain using Google Domains. I then made a free WordPress.com account. When I go to ‘My Site’ I see the option to add a domain. I then type in the domain I already own and on that page it says ‘$13/year’, but when I try to checkout the price changes to ‘$99, $8.25 x 12’ and says I have to upgrade to the Premium plan.

    So what’s going on? How much does it ACTUALLY cost to map an already owned domain?

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

    Hi there,

    Domains can only be added as part of a plan, so you shouldn’t be seeing that price if you’re trying to add your first domain. You can map additional domains at $13, but only once you already own a plan on your site.

    You can see the different plans with their costs (billed yearly) here:

    I’d appreciate if you can give me some more information so we can correct this mistake. Where exactly do you see it say $13 a year? Can you please give me the URL of the page, and also take a screen shot and upload it to your media library so I can see?

    Thanks.
