  Need to do back up and plug in seems to be the way to go. Can’t find plugin button anywhere. Is it buried deeply or non-existent? If so, how do I do back-up for site?
  Thanks

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

  That capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs if what you mean is you want to hand out username accounts and passwords. For that type of functionality you’d need a self-hosted site running on a paid web hosting service.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  This is just an added note to suggest you may wish to switch to using a more modern theme. https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/two-columns/?sort=free Benevolence has been retired and themes are retired when they no longer support all WordPress.com features.

  Sorry. Please ignore this phrase above:
  if what you mean is you want to hand out username accounts and passwords.

  The rest is correct.
