re: plugins
You are confusing wordpress.com hosted blogs and wordpress.org software installs. There is no FTP access https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/ and no blogger installed plugin capability. https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ Blogger installed plugins are not permitted here at WordPress.com for various security reasons. No upgrade changes that reality.This guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/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 documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
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.

I’m having this issue as well. I just purchased PopUpAlly and i want to add it to my blog, but I can’t “add new” plug in, like the PopUpAlly video demonstrates.

You must be confused. Or why did you post here after you have already read what I posted above yesterday?What I posted above at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/cant-access-the-plug-in-page-to-add-plug-in?replies=3#post-2561734 is correct.
If you want to install that plugin you need to hire a web host and set up a wordpress.ORG install.

I am quite confused. So I need to set up a separate account with WordPress.org to use the PopUpAlly plug in? Or I have to leave WordPress and go with another site?
The PopUpAlly video shows the plug in on WordPress. I wish I had live chat! I’m really struggling.

The video you are watching is for WordPress.ORG software installs and cannot be installed into wordpress.COM sites like yours.
You cannot install that plugin or any other plugin of any kind on this site http://sobrieteaparty.com/ or on any other site hosted wordpress.COM.

Ok I guess from what I’ve read you aren’t able to install plug-ins on wordpress.com only on wordpress.org, guess I’ll stay with .com for now.
Thanks for the replies -
