  Hi. I just started today and purchased a domain (ai-chat.blog) but the wordpress site doesn’t let me use that one. it seems to automatically use aidrivendotblog.

  Can someone add the right domain please.
  thank you

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there, and welcome to WordPress.com! Just to check, had you also purchased a plan along with your domain? The reason that I ask is that as standard, a site requires an active plan, in order for the domain to be the “primary” address:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/set-a-primary-address/

  Without a plan, a visitor can still type in ai-chat.blog but they would be redirected to the free address aidrivendotblog.wordpress.com when they get to the site.
