  I made a site on WordPress.com and wanted a plugin where others can submit a post to be published. I found a few but cannot find where to upload or install the plugin? Is there a limitation?

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

  Hi accdforum,

  On WordPress.com, we include the most popular plugin functionality within our sites automatically. As a result, WordPress.com users won’t find a Plugins tab in the Dashboard.

  Hello,

  A plug in such as the one found with this link – https://wordpress.org/plugins/djd-site-post/ – wouldn’t be able to be used on wordpress.com but only on wordpress.org? Is there anything similar that I can use or do?

  Correct. A plugin like that is only available for self-hosted installations of WordPress.

  You can always submit your plugin idea at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas and hope that the plugin or something like it gets added in the future.

  I’m not aware of anything similar that is currently available for WordPress.com users.
