Adding ultimate tables plug in to wordpress.org
-
I upgraded to bsnbiobanks.org from bsnbiobanks.wordpress.com by clicking the ‘upgrade’ button (and paid $26). I did this because I wanted to install the plug in ‘ultimate tables’, and I read that I cant install new plugins into a wordpress.com account. I have now also read that to change to a .org site, then I need to migrate my data from the original wordpress.com site. But it looks like the migration was completed for me during my upgrade??
I cant see ‘plugins’ anywhere on my site, and thus cant activate ‘plugins -> add new’ to install the ultimate tables plug in that I’ve downloaded.
What am I doing wrong please?!!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

When you purchase a domain name via a domain mapping upgrade that is all you get. All that changes is the URLs and nothing else. Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums.
There is no FTP access to WordPress.COM blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins or third party themes.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that.
WordPress.ORG offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.ORG install. -

Did you purchase a Guided Transfer http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/ ?

Here’s a summary of the steps you need to take to move your content into a WordPress.ORG software install.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
http://wordpress.org/themes/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/3. To move your content you need to create an XML export file of your content. It will not include the theme and widgets as they cannot be exported. Export your content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
4. WordPress.com is the top level domain here and all blogs hosted by WordPress.com are on .wordpress.com sub-domains.
(a) Purchase a site redirect upgrade from wordpress.com
http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/(b) Or if you have domain mapping then see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/#change-name-servers-to-point-the-domain-outside-of-wordpress-com and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/
5. Transfer subscribers. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/
6. Set your wordpress.com blog visibility to private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Alternatively you can purchase a Guided Transfer and Staff will do the move and set up for you http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
WordPress.com and WordPress.org have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

You be welcome – common error – looking at the domain name extension .ORG in this case and thinking they were getting a WordPress.ORG install in the process

I look at a lot – not been in the mood to post much here lately – but the forum is a team effort and if I see something that someone else missed or something that can use a bit of fine tuning, I try and nudge things in the correct direction
