  Hello! My blog is hosted by you, and I understand that’s why I can’t have plugins for security reasons. Is it possible then that you add extension/plugins that I need on my blog? For exemple I’d like to have the redirection tool, the Jetpack kit and some others. Can you help? If you can’t how does it work? Is there any way I can have the redirection tool, or the jetpack kit for that matter, while being hosted by you? Thanks.

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

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry, but as you mentioned it is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please note Jetpack is a plugin that provides self-hosted, WordPress.org sites the same features of WordPress.com. So you wouldn’t need Jetpack as a WordPress.com user.

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As for the redirection tool – exactly what would you like to do? I’ll se if it’s possible on WordPress.com.

  Thanks!
