  Hi there,

  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

  Mailchimp embeds use resources that we don’t allow on WordPress.com, but looking at their FAQS Mailchimp actually linked to a workaround in this WordPress forum thread:

  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/mail-chimp-signup-form-embed-code-doesnt-work?replies=5#post-350903

  It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s a possibility.

  Best,
