    Hi, I’ve found the perfect calendar widget for my site: WP Simple Bookings, but I can’t work out how to upload it to my site as per instructions on the site: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-simple-booking-calendar/installation/
    Please could you help me?

    Hi There,
    The plugin that you have found is for the self hosted WordPress sites which can install plugins at WordPress.org. With a WordPress.com site the widgets, plugins, etc are already pre-installed for you. You can add in a widget, but the one you are looking for is not available at WordPress.com.

    To view what is available and add a Widget, you can go to My Sites – Customize – Widgets, then choose the location you wish to add it to, such as “Side Bar” and then click Add a Widget. You will then see the list of available widgets.

    You can also look through the support pages regarding widgets and you may be able to find a widget that does something similar for you.
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=widgets On the right toward the bottom you can see information pages regarding all of the available widgets.

    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

    Thanks for that. Does that mean that I need to upgrade my WordPress page in order to add the .org plugins?
    Or do I just have to use what’s on the .com site?

    I can’t find a widget on the wordpress.com site that does what I want- a simple calendar where days can be colour-filled to indicate if they are free or booked. I really don’t like Google calendar.
    Any advice? It’s just to keep tabs on a shared family holiday home, not for commercial use.
