  My site ricordisparsi.wordpress.com is in “Soon Available” mode and the “Launch site” button in Settings → Reading keeps sending me to the domain purchase page.
  The site is not visible at all, even in incognito mode.
  I want to launch the site with the free plan and keep the address ricordisparsi.wordpress.com.
  Please launch it from your backend.
  Thank you.

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

  Hi @transparentthoroughly98cb875c05,
  
  Could it be that your site was created with the AI website builder?

  If that’s the case it needs any paid plan to be published publicly, which is why the launch button keeps taking you to the upgrade page.

  No, I did NOT use the AI website builder.

  I created ricordisparsi.wordpress.com manually:

  1. Went to wordpress.com → “Create a site”
  2. Selected “Free WordPress.com plan”
  3. Entered name “ricordisparsi”
  4. Added articles manually from dashboard

  The site is a normal Free plan site, NOT AI-generated.

  In Settings → Reading I still see:
  “Not yet launched your site. You can only see it right now.”
  “Launch site” → ALWAYS goes to domains/paid plans

  Can you check the backend status of ricordisparsi.wordpress.com?
  It’s ready to be launched with the free plan.

  Thank you!

  Hi @transparentthoroughly98cb875c05,

  When you’re redirected to the domain purchase page you’ll want to go through the following steps:

  1. Start with a free plan.
  2. Skip purchase.
  3. Continue with Free.

  Once you complete that, your site should proceed to launch under the free .wordpress.com address.
