  Hi there!

  Third party plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

  Plugins are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

  Sometimes, even without the installation of a plugin, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. For instance, if you want to add events to your site, you have these options:

  Upcoming Events Legacy Widget

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
