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

  The plans have changed quite sometime back. Now, adding a domain to your site (either registering a new domain or mapping one you already own) requires a WordPress.com plan. See https://wordpress.com/pricing/ for more information.

  Hi there,

  The reason you see the $13 price listed is because you already have a domain mapping and Premium Plan added to your cart, so the system thinks you’re trying to add an additional domain on top of the free one included in the plan. If you remove those items from your cart you’ll only see an Upgrade option on the domains page:

  You will need to purchase a plan first before you can connect your domain, but you can also use the cheaper Personal plan for this instead of the Premium plan. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
