  I need the ability to install an IDX Plugin for a Real Estate website but do not see the Plugins Tab. What are my options? Help!

  Some places say I need to download a WordPress.org site but I did that and it said the directory was missing etc. I also tried to login this morning to the WordPress.org site I downloaded yesterday and it is saying it doesn’t exist under any of our emails.

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

  Hi Jan,

  You have reached support for WordPress.com, which is different from the self-hosted WordPress.org which you are speaking about (we have a help article which breaks down the difference right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/).

  You are right that you have no plugins tab for janhungate.wordpress.com, as we do not allow them here. If you have created a WordPress.org site with some third party hosting (such as GoDaddy, BlueHost, HostGator, etc), then you can log in there and set your site up with plugins and all.

  Sadly, we are unable to assist with WordPress.org sites, however there are resources available to you. There is a huge WordPress.org community, the headquarters of which are here: http://wordpress.org/support/ . You also may be able to get some help from your host, depending on who you are hosting with.

  Please let me know if you have any questions!
