  Hi there,

  All available plugins on WordPress.com are already built in. You aren’t able to install plugins here.

  On WordPress.org, which is self hosted, you do have that capability.

  For more information see here:

  Plugins

  Hope that helps.

  WordPress.com does not offer the option to install third-party plugins. If you would like more control over plugins and the option to install your own, a WordPress.org setup would be the best solution for you.

  This page explains the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org in more detail, if you’re interested:
