  I recently mapped http://www.fredtututraining.co.za to wordpress. I then got hosting with hostgator and installed wordpress from there. I was sent a username and password but I am told that they are wrong from wordpress. When I login to my old account using (email visible only to moderators and staff), I can see fredtututraining.co.za but then I cannot see plugins?
  Please help

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

  http://fredtututraining.co.za/ is hosted at WordPress.com

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. Please check out the following links to learn the differences.

  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  http://get.wp.com/

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

  However, we do have some really cool widgets. Perhaps one of those might meet your needs?

  Your domain’s nameservers still point to WordPress.com. If you want to point it to hostgator instead you’ll need to contact your (.co.za) domain registrar and ask them to change the nameservers to:

  ns1.hostgator.com
  ns2.hostgator.com

  If you want your domain mapping upgrade to be canceled, go to https://fredtututraining.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades and click the ‘Cancel and Refund’ link.
