    I want to install plugins on my site, e.g. the social-media-widget that I have downloaded but I have no /wp-content/plugins folder. If I try to open a /wp-content page the screen message tells me I am lost.

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

    Hey,

    WordPress.com has a lot of built-in features that were inspired by popular plugins. Chances are, the feature you are looking for is already there! You can search our support site via this link:

    Home

    For any features on WordPress.com, the support page will explain how to set it up.

    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 don’t find what you are looking for, just let me know what you’d like to achieve with a plugin, and I’ll help you find a solution.

    Thanks,
