  I’m having trouble installing a plug-in through the WP-Admin site. Whenever I click Plugins in the admin site, it takes me back to the regular editor site. I need to upload and install the WP Hide Post plugin through the admin site.

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

  Hey there,

  Here at WordPress.com, all of the plugins available to us are already installed. You can read about them here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  If there’s a specific plugin you want WordPress.com to support, head on over to the ideas forum and let them know!

  Another option is to self- host with a WordPress.org install. Third- party plugins can be installed if you self-host, but you are much more responsible for the technical upkeep of the site. You can read about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

  If you have any more questions, ask away!
