  i am trying to install the woocommerce on wordpress (at 000webhost.com), i fellowed the instruction found on internet:

  -Visit the WooCommerce Plugin Page on the WordPress.org Plugin Repository and click download. This will download the latest version to your local machine.

  -Extract the downloaded zip file using your application of choice.

  -Connect to your WordPress site via FTP or SFTP (SFTP FTW!) and navigate to wp-content/plugins/.

  -Upload the extracted woocommerce folder to wp-content/plugins/.

  You cannot install plugins on wordpress.com sites. You need a wordpress.org self hosted site to do that.

  Be aware that no blogger initiated advertising of any kind or sponsored content or paid content is allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. There is not ecommerce capaibility here at wordpress.com. You may want to review the information at these links below before you get too far along:

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The good news is you can sell what you personally create but our blogs cannot be equipped for Ecommerce transactions. We can use a PayPal button http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ and/or acontact form http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ to sell products and/or services we create. We can set up a shopping cart elsewhere online and create a custom menu on the blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ with a cusom link to a shopping cart in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links
