Action Button Edit plus Plug Ins
-
Hi,
I am using wordpress.com to build a site. I have two issues.
First call for action button on the header, where can I go and edit the text inside the button and also redirect it to another page?
Secondly, I am wanting to add a couple of plug in, when I go to that section I can not see where the add area. Any ideas on this too?
Thanks in advance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no FTP access to any wordpress.com sites. The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.See:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/WordPress.com sites have some built in plugins http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/. However, if you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, advertising, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.
Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

If you do not wish to hire a web host and move to a wordpress.ORG install read on.
Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one at https://wordpress.com/themes/twentysixteen/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://twentysixteendemo.wordpress.com/
The difference between web site and blog is just semantics and structure.
WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

I did a Gateway tag search https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/gateway and read removing ‘Welcome to WordPress’ from home page: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/removing-welcome-to-wordpress-from-home-page?replies=2#post-2714303?
A google search will also result in the answer.
If you are not using the Gateway theme then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up.

Thank you for that.
I will have a look at the links you sent.
I am using the gateway theme and on the header there is a call for action button and it is directed to a test site. I would like to reword the call for action text and also redirect it to another page.any ideas on this?

Yes and I already provided the links to the solution for the welcome message and removing the call to action above.

Thanks again. I understand the links and I have completed most but I cannot find the section where the code is for the call button to change the wording and which pages it goes to.
Sorry if I am missing the obvious and thanks for your help.
