  Hi there,

  I do not see any sites under your @natashacchapman WordPress.com account when I check on our end. It sounds like you may have a self-hosted WordPress site, which are sites that you create on a “traditional web host” like Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.

  Without going into too much detail, WordPress.com is a “managed host” where we pre-install a lot of functionality that you don’t get if you are using another hosting provider. In this case we add the ability to use Google Photos for all sites on WordPress.com, but your site likely does not have this functionality.

  The good news is that we have a plugin you can add to your site called Jetpack, and it will give your site a lot of the functionality we install on our sites automatically. To use Google Photos on your site, please install the Jetpack plugin and then you can follow these steps: https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-blocks/using-your-google-photos-with-jetpack/

  Thanks!
