    Hello
    I was wondering if I could please get some help in regards to a tag page

    I am coming up on page 1 on google for the search term ‘counseling Walthamstow’

    However, the page that has been indexed is
    /tag/counselling-walthamstow/’

    when you click on the link goes to the tag page and not my home page.

    So I downloaded a 301 plugin to redirect from that page to my homepage (www. therapyin. london)

    The 301 redirect works if you put in the tag page address into the address bar manually but not if you click on the link in the Google search results.
    I have tried a couple of plugins all to the same effect.

    I am not what else to try in order to get:

    1.The redirect to work.

    2. A page to sit into of the tag page with information about the location, my service etc

    3. Google to index my homepage in relation to the search term ‘ counselling Walthamstow’.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Philip

    So I downloaded a 301 plugin

    There is no FTP access to any wordpress.com sites. You cannot install any plugins into any site hosted by wordpress.COM.

    WordPress.com sites have some built in plugins http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/. However, if you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, advertising, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.

    Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, and many people get confused about the two.

    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/

    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.

    Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.com/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

    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

    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/

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