Can’t find “plugin” tab on dashboard
-
Hello, everyone!
I’m trying to upload some plugins for my blog, but after searching a lot about it, i figured out the most important: my dashboard just doesn’t have a “PLUGIN” tab on the sidebar options….
I mean, it should be located between APEARANCE and USERS, but…. it is just not there!I don’t know if i have misunderstood something in the way, but i can’t find it…..
any help would be…helpful!
cheers!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If this is the blog you are talking about, http://clubedinamis.wordpress.com/ , then there is no plugins tab because here at wordpress.COM we cannot upload or use plugins.

well, thanks for your help… i appreciate….
and… can I create a blog on wordpress.org and transfer my .com blog into it ?
thanks!

What you have to do, is register a domain name, hire a web host, install the software from wordpress.ORG onto your webhost (some of them have a one-button install) then export your stuff from here, and then import it into the self-hosted blog. Images are not included in the export file so those will have to be transferred separately and then the links in the posts and pages updated by hand since the URL’s of the images will be different. Alternately you can keep your blog here and leave the images on it and then they will “hotlink” from your new blog.
Hosting will cost anywhere from $7 per month to as high as $50 or more depending on your bandwidth and storage needs. Add another average of $2-4 per month for the cost of the domain registration (averaged out by month).
You will be responsible for all upgrades, all backups, all troubleshooting and installation of all plugins or themes via FTP. The wordpress.ORG forum is not like this one here, and good number of threads over there simply go unanswered. Sad, but that is the reality of that forum. Easier questions seem to be the ones that are ignored while harder ones involving modifications to themes or the underlying wordpress PHP files get more attention.
There are some good hosting companies listed at http://wordpress.ORG/hosting/ . Watch out for the big bargains because you truly do get what you pay for, and some of the low cost hosts promising huge amounts of bandwidth cut you off way before you reach that limit. Also, if you get “digged” on a few posts, and then end up getting a lot of traffic, you might end up burning through your monthly bandwidth allocation in a week or two. I have friends that that has happened to and they then had to upgrade their accounts to be able to get their blogs back online.
