    Hi there!

    I think there was a bit of confusion here. It doesn’t matter if the extension of your domain is .org or .com…you still have a WordPress.COM site registered.

    If you want plugins, you’ll need a self-hosted site via WordPress.ORG.

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

    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.

    Sometimes, even without the installation of a plugin, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. If you let me know your goals, perhaps I can help further.

    Please let me know! Cheers.
