  Hello, I recently purchased a profile builder plugin and was trying to install it on my wordpress site. currently a xxxx.wordpress.com. How do I go about changing that so that I can install the plugin, without creating a new wordpress account?

  You are confusing wordpress.com hosted blogs and wordpress.org software installs. There is no FTP access https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/ to wordpress.com hosted blogs and there is no blogger installed plugin capability
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ There is no upgrade that changes this reality. https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  This guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
