  Do I need to pay for the non-free version of wordpress in order to have plug ins?

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

  you can’t install plugin’s no matter what upgrade you have – you can’t use Disqus on WordPress.COM blogs

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

  IMO when specific plugin requests in the Ideas Forum date back 7 years in time like this one for the Disqus plugin does https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/disqus/page/3 the odds of what’s being requested being introduced are next to zero.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins (passwords), features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting and move your content into a WordPress.ORG install https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
