If you have a WordPress.com subscription that you no longer need and want to stop, this guide will walk you through the process of canceling your subscription. Whether you have a paid plan, domain registrations, or any other additional services, we’ll cover how to stop them all.

Canceling a WordPress.com Paid Plan

To cancel a WordPress.com paid plan, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your WordPress.com account.
  2. Click on your avatar in the upper right corner to open the account menu.
  3. Click on ‘Manage Purchases‘.
  4. Select the subscription you want to cancel.
  5. Scroll down to the ‘Cancel Subscription‘ section.
  6. Click on the ‘Cancel Subscription‘ button.
  7. Provide a reason for canceling your subscription and click ‘Cancel Now‘.

That’s it! Your WordPress.com paid plan is now canceled. Keep in mind that canceling a subscription within 30 days of purchase will result in a refund. After 30 days, no refund will be provided, but you will be able to use the remaining time on your subscription until it expires.

Canceling a Domain Registration

If you have a domain registered with WordPress.com and want to cancel it, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your WordPress.com account.

When you cancel a domain registration, you will no longer have control over the domain, and it will be released back to the domain registrar. Keep in mind that domain registration fees are non-refundable.

Canceling Additional Services

If you have any additional services that you want to cancel, such as G Suite or WordPress.com Email, follow these steps:
