    Hi there!

    I believe there may be a bit of confusion between WordPress.com and the self-hosted WordPress install. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

    Check here to learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs.

    Let me know if you have any questions with this!
