transfering existing content from a free wordpress site to a personal one
-
I’d like to upgrade to a personal account but want to transfer the content of the old free site to the new one.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
The content stays exactly where it is when you upgrade. Only the URls change. There is no transferring required at all.
In order to remove the .wordpress.com URL and replace that with a domain URL you have to purchase an upgrade. See https://wordpress.com/pricing/
What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL to the original content.
Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.
We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
