  Hi,
  I’m creating a blog for my company and I decided to create it in WordPress due to 3 reasons:
  – the wpml plug-in for posting in more than one language http://wpml.org/
  – the sumo.me plug-in for creating a mailing list http://sumome.com/instructions#wordpress
  – and my own management of categories (menu tabs).
  It just happens that I cannot install plug-in on my account, and I read in the support site that there isn’t the plug-in tab in the dashboard anymore.
  Can users still add these 2 plug-ins? If no do you have any features to replace them?
  Best,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  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. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ To hire a web host see http://wordpress.ORG/hosting/

  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.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
