upgrade a WordPress.com site
-
I added a domain to my WordPress site in my free plan a couple of years ago,. I want to convert it to a public domain and set up a couple of email accounts in the domain, but I can’t find any instructions on how to proceed. I can’t purchase the domain name since it.is ‘already mapped to a WordPress.com’ site.
WP.com: Yes
Jetpack: No
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)
