  I cannot use plugins on WordPress.com.It is the way wordpress it’s working, or it is just a bad setting on my own blog?

  No, we can not use plug-ins on WordPress.com.
  It has nothing to do with the settings on you blog.
  Read the links in my post just above yours.

  Plugins only work with self-hosted blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG, not here. See the following two sticky threads from the top of the main forum page for the differences between wordpress.ORG and wordpress.COM.

  The person who told you you can use plugins on a WordPress.com blog does not know as much as any of us. We are unanimous, and we have several thousand pages worth of technical answers provided in the forums here. We do know what we’re talking about; you’ve been given the wrong information.

  Not here at wordpress.COM, it isn’t. If you self-host your blog using the software from wordpress.ORG, then you can use buddypress.
