  Hey everybody, I am trying to add a plugin to my page, Pretty Link Light, but whenever I click my plug-in tab it just takes me to a screen that asks if I would like an e-commerce store. What do I need to do to install this plugin?

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

  Hi,
  Plugins can’t be installed on a WordPress.com site: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  You might want to visit the idea forum and suggest that the Pretty Link Light plugin be added: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/#plugin-requests

  If you really need the plugin, consider moving to a self-hosted installation of WordPress. You’ll need to register a domain, buy hosting, and set up your site using the free software from WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/

  For more information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, visit: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hello,
  Im am experiencing the same issue, except that as far as I know I am operating on a self-hosted wordpress.
  Is this because my site is a .com, and not a .org?

  this is the site: mutantforest.com

  thanks
