Description

Expected behavior

The area to purchase the domain not to be accessible on staging sites since purchasing the domain is not possible.

Actual behavior

When I try to add a custom domain on a staging site, I am able to select it first but after proceeding, I am redirected to the hosting overview for a staging site with no further way to purchase the domain.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  • Create a site with a Creator plan on WordPress.com
  • Activate Hosting Features from Settings -> Hosting Configuration
  • Create a staging site from Staging site tab: https://wordpress.com/staging-site/{yourAtomicSite}
  • Navigate to the staging site on your mobile device in the Jetpack app
  • Scroll to the area from which you can purchase a custom domain
  • Add the domain name in the field
  • Proceed with the purchase
  • Observe that you are brought to the overview of the staging sites with no further option to purchase a custom domain
Tested on iPhone 15 MaxPro, iOS 17.5.1, Jetpack iOS / WordPress iOS 25.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the flow in the Jetpack iOS app: Hosting Configuration, then the staging site tab and the custom-domain purchase area on a staging site. No source file or test is named; done means the domain-purchase area is unavailable on staging sites and the flow no longer redirects to an unusable hosting overview.
