  I want to install the WP accessibility plug in on my website so that I can insert Alt text and accessibility features, but I am having trouble finding the “Plug In” tab on my Admin settings page. All the blogs I’ve looked at said that in order to download the Accessibility plug in, you have to go to the “Plug Ins” tab on this admin page, but I don’t have that tab so I cannot figure out how to enable this plug in on my website. Please help!

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

  I’m having the same issue. Has there been a solution for this yet? Do I have to have some sort of paid membership?

  WordPress.com does not offer the option to install third-party plugins. If you would like more control over plugins and the option to install your own, a WordPress.org setup would be the best solution for you.

  This page explains the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org in more detail, if you’re interested:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  However, we do have several themes that are accessibility ready:
