  I purchased a theme through iDesignEco, does WordPress not support their themes? I’m having a hard time getting a response from their customer service department.

  Also, I don’t have an tab for plugins on my blog. I’d like to add it. Can anyone assist me with these two issues.

  Thanks

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

  No plug-in’s allowed here – no external themes allowed either – a security issue

  You also need to read the Terms of Service if you want to keep your blog here

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org ar completely spearate and very different For clarity read > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like the one linked to your username and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  More to the point is this. No blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work or products created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM

  The only advertising program here is WordAds

  Thank you for your responses. I have one last question. Can I convert my current blog from a wordpress.com to wordpress.org?

  I have no intention to add shopping carts or anything. I just wanted a different layout.

  Thanks again.

  What I mean by plugins is for example when the SOPA movement was taking place, I wanted to add the WordPress plugin to show my support but it wasn’t a plugins link for me to click on and follow the steps to add it.

  But I will re-read the terms and conditions. Not trying to cause any trouble or do anything illegal. I’m just making the appropriate changes as my blogs popularity increases.

  Thanks.

  WordPress.com added a SOPA blackout functionality that was extensively discussed on the forums.

  You can change the layout here if you know CSS editing and buy the Custom Design upgrade.

  It’s easy to convert from WP.com to WP.org. Get paid hosting, install Wp.org software there, then import your Wp.com blog. Then set the WP.com blog as Private. Done.
