  I just bought the domain from Plan, but why is it always redirected back to the .wordpress.com?
  igotlosthere.com -> when clicked on browser -> redirected to gotlosthere.wordpress.com

  What’s the point of buying the domain then?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello,

  Once you’ve purchased the domain, you need to set up your primary address as follows. Steps can be found here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/set-a-primary-address

  Hi there!

  From what I can see, you have only purchased a domain. To use it as your primary address, you’d also need one of our paid plans:

  https://wordpress.com/pricing/.

  The annual plans come with a free domain credit for the first year so, if you purchase one, let us know either here or via https://wordpress.com/help/contact so we can refund the price of the domain you had already registered.
