  I’m trying to install the Event Manager plug-in. I’ve downloaded the zip file and according to what I have found online, I should be able to select ‘plug-ins’ on my admin page, then ‘add new’ and upload the file; however, ‘add new’ is not an option. I have the basic (free) WordPress. Do I need to upgrade to use Event Manager?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Any plugin installations are allowed in WordPress.com due to security reasons. If “Event Manager plug-in” is necessary for your site, you can try WordPress.ORG with self-hosting.

  Please refer to the following support page in order to understand the difference between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  Thanks :)

  Thanks hacchism,

  Please bear with me as I am new at this. I subscribed to Bluehost to host my website based on the advice of a colleague, but I still can’t figure out how to install Event Manager. Can you point me in the right direction?

  Thanks

  That site is not on our WordPress.COM servers. You are posting to the wrong support forum. We do not provide the support you need.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, 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/

  This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  Support for your site is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/ The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
