  Hello.
  My problem is, when I upload media to wordpress, and link it on my webpage (with custom domain), link to those media (pictures, maybe uploaded pdf etc.) is *primaryDomainName*.files.wordpress.com/..... What I would like to have are files on link mycustomdomain.com/.....

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to have a direct link to media on a WordPress.com site such as the one you described. If you upload media to your Media Library, the URL will look like this:
  https://mycustomdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/….

  However, I tried to visit the site associated with your account and a warning appears saying that the domain mapping upgrade for this domain was not found. You need to go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use your custom domain.

  Please see the following support document for more information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Hope this answers your question.
