  Hi there,

  Can you please let me know your site’s address so I can point you in the right direction of getting support?

  Hey there!

  When you have a Business plan or above, and you want to use plugins, the .wordpress.com subdomain will change to a .wpcomstaging.com as this is a needed change for your site to work correctly. Is this the issue you are seeing?

  You can read more about it here: https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/#a-note-on-wpcomstaging-com-addresses

  And you can read a further explanation from Kokkieh (WP staff) here: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/why-did-url-change-to-wpcomstaging/#post-3469877

  The most frequent recommendation is to use a custom domain for the site, to avoid confusion for the users.

  Hope this was helpful 😉
