Revamp and advertisements

Is this a wordpress.com site or a self-hosted WordPress install?

WordPress.com site

So are you intending to move to a self-hosted WordPress site? If so, then you can set up & display whatever you want on the new site. WordPress does not impose any limitations on the content you choose to display. The limitation against paid advertising is specific to wordpress.com sites only.

Do you know approximately how much it would be to do so? And are there any guides or other resources I could use to complete this process? I assume staying as a wordpress website will force the domain name to contain the word.

Also, I am attempting to link our google calendar to a widget on the sidebar, but it hasn’t been working out. I tried using the upcoming event’s widget, but it would not allow me to link it directly to google calendars.

For help with a site on WordPress.COM, you’ll need to ask on their support forums here:

If you want to more to a self-hosted site, info here:

You’d need to set up and pay for hosting – cost varies depending on your needs: https://www.ads-software.com/hosting/

With a self-hosted site, you also have to take care of all the maintenance of the site – but you also have much more flexibility in so far as what you can do – such as advertising. For the differences between .COM hosted and self-hosted .ORG sites, see:

You CAN use a custom domain name on a WP.COM site – see:
