  Hi! I’d like to renew the domain mapping for my own domain, just like I did on june 28, 2020. Paid $13. I want to continue using my free plan. Just need the domain mapping. How can I do that, please? (I can’t believe wordpress has outsourced its support to the community, btw).

  Thanks

  Hi!
  I’d like to renew my domain mapping for my site *thomasmadsen.no* just like I did on june 28, 2020.
  Don’t need a plan, just the domain mapping. How can I do that, please?

  If you are logged in with the correct account that owns that grandfathered domain mapping upgrade for thomasmadsen.no have you tried renewing it in your account purchases dashboard at https://wordpress.com/me/purchases ?

  If you are logged in with the correct account and it doesn’t appear there, you’ll need Staff help with this and I’ve flagged your thread for their attention.

  By the way, free websites hosted on WordPress.com have always been supported here in our community forums. :)

  Thanks @justjennifer

  
  @illustratortm, some older sites did not require a plan for domain mapping, but if those upgrades expired there’s really no way for us to add them back in. A personal plan will give you mapping, no-ads, and direct support, as well as a handful of other paid features, so I’d recommend that.

  Cheers!

  @justjennifer @supernovia Thank you very much for providing me with clear answers, guys. Very much appreciated. :)

  I ended up caving in and bought a personal plan for 1 month. Bit of wasted money, as all I need is the domain mapping… so once my vacation is over, I’ll end my subscription and move over to a different service.

  @illustratortm No problem. When you’re ready, here’s how to move the site:
  https://move.wordpress.com

  Just bear in mind, our service includes maintenance, security, and direct support with paid plans, in addition to the SSL hosting. So, if you’re just looking to save money, it’s actually pretty comparable to a personal plan. Plus you can transfer the domain and save a year’s renewal fees on that, if you’d like.

  Still, totally up to you. If you do move the site, note the community forums for the free code are at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ . Cheers!
