  Hi there,

  I cannot view the plugins tab on the left hand side of the dashboard. How can I get the ability to add plugins into my website?

  Here is a link to a screenshot of what my WordPress version looks like…

  While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:

  Plugins

  However, we do have several built-in features that were inspired by many popular plugins. You might find what you want by searching for it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/

  What feature are you looking to add with a plugin?

  Also, for more information on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, please see:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
