  I signed up for WordPress because I want to use Buddypress to create a social network.

  However, I can’t find the plugin option on my dashboard.

  Please advise?

  If I can’t run Buddypress on wordpress.com, then I will have to ask for a refund for my domain mapping, and opt for a self hosted blog instead.

  BuddyPress is not yet available on WordPress.com.

  There are no restrictions if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities. We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested.

  You can cancel and refund your Domain Mapping upgrade at https://connab.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades
