  I downloaded bbpress from their site, but I have no idea how to get it from my computer onto my blog site. Can you help please?? Isn’t there an easier way to get a forum onto my blog? For instance, doesn’t WordPress have a forum that can be attached to the website?

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

  HI there,

  Please note that it is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  If you would like to create a forum, you would have to move to self-hosted, WordPress.org.

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
