  Hi, i would like to have the facebook plugin added to my personal blog. I didn’t understand if the personal plan has this feature or if I should upgarde to another plan to get it.
  Thanks,
  Sharon

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

  Sadly, only sites with the Business Plan can upload custom plugins. However, all sites do get access to some plugins automatically.

  Learn more: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  What exactly are you trying to do though? WordPress.com does offer some integration with Facebook on all sites, even without the Business Plan: https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-integration/

  Let us know if you have any further questions. :)

  Hi and thank you! What i’m trying to get is an integration between the native comments in the blog and the comments from facebook. I always post a link on facebook on new posts and readers like to comment there too. I wish i could see all the comments on the blog.
  Thanks for your help :)

  Yes, that would require a custom plugin, I’m afraid. The closest which could be done is have readers comment directly on your blog using their Facebook account: https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-and-twitter-comments/

  But I understand that’s not as ideal. I’ve tagged staff to see if they can note your idea of making that plugin available for other sites though. :)

  Hi there,

  I’m afraid that the kind of functionality you’re looking for can only be achieved with a plugin. Therefore, upgrading to the Business plan is the way to go.

  It would be really useful for WordPress to allow a Donate plugin for the personal plan users. I am sure that there are many of us just starting out or even who have been writing for a while who could do with a helping hand for their site costs.

  thebossataloeeverybody,

  You can use Paypal to set up a donate link/button:

  It takes a bit of work, but it will do what you are looking for.
