  I have a two wordpress websites. One is healthycountrylife.com and the other is shobasadler.wordpress.com.

  On the dashboard of healthycountrylife.com I have Plug-in as an option just under Appearance. When I click on this Plug-in option I can add other free plug-ins which are not currently there. However with shobasadler.wordpress.com this option for plug-in is not there. Can you tell me why please? And how do I install this option so I can get new plug-ins that might be useful to me?

  Thank you
  Shoba Sadler

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

  healthycountrylife.com is a self-hosted site using the standalone WP software where you can add plugins. shobasadler.wordpress.com is hosted here on WordPressdotcom and while we have many plugins built in to the platform, we cannot add any further plugins. Here’s more about that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  And here’s more about the differences between standalone WP and WordPressdotcom (where we are) https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Let us know if you have any other question on that.
