  Do I need to upgrade to redirect traffic if I transfer my wordpress.com blog to a platform that is built on WordPress (and that has no adverts in its blog posts, which makes me think that it is built on WordPress.org…)?

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

  Hi –

  Yes, you can add a site redirect to point a free WordPress.com blog to any other domain. Is this what you’re looking to do?

  That is what I’m looking to do, but I’m trying to find out if I need to pay for an upgrade to redirect my WordPress.com blog to a WordPress.org blog. Cheers!

  Yes, the Site Redirect upgrade is required to direct your WordPress.com site’s URL elsewhere: https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/
