  You can map a domain to a free WordPress.com site but the free address will always display unless you purchase a plan (a Personal plan would do) to enable you to make your custom domain the primary domain.

  Hi there,

  Mapping a domain to WordPress.com requires a paid plan. Mapping itself is free, meaning you can map as many domains as you want without paying extra, but owning a plan is a prerequisite.

  The recent changes to domains in plans only apply to domain registrations or transfers. Adding domain mapping always requires a plan, except for sites with legacy stand-alone domain mapping upgrades.
