Hello,

I wanted to get some clarity on upgrading my blog. There’s a plan for $19/year for getting a customised blog- for me it’s gonna be loveforteas.com & then there’s a premium plan for $99/year with other features.

I wanted to know if by buying a domain for $19, would I get features like – embed Facebook page and do lot of customisation and make my blog professional.

Basically, I want to know what features would I get by registering my domain.

Thank you for your time,

Team ‘Love for Tea’

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

Hi there. If you buy a custom domain, that’s all you get. loveforteas.wordpress.com becomes loveforteas.com. Nothing else.

The premium upgrade bundle includes a custom domain, but also Custom Design, the No Ads and VideoPress upgrades, and additional storage space for media files. Full details here: https://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/

However, you don’t need an upgrade to embed Facebook posts into your blog (and no upgrade will give you additional Facebook integration options than what is already available for free blogs). See here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/

Thank you for your time and response. I really appreciate it.

I wanted to ask you my question about Facebook again. Like, the different pages created on the blog can be liked to a Facebook page. Pls check my friend’s blog that has done it https://colorodyssey.wordpress.com

I wanted to know if buying my domain would let me link my Facebook page to my blog page, or I would have to buy the $99 plan to execute what I want.

Thank you in advance!
Good day!

You don’t need any upgrades to connect with Facebook. All Facebook integration options are available for free blogs.

Under Settings ->Sharing you can use the Publicize feature to have your blog post updates of each new post to your personal profile and/or pages: https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#facebook-profiles-pages

You can add a Facebook Like or Share button to any post or page, and if you have a Facebook page you can add a Facebook Like Box in your sidebar or footer so users can like your page directly from your blog: https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/

The Facebook widget at the bottom of https://colorodyssey.wordpress.com/ is the Facebook Like Box. The second support doc I linked explains how you add that.
