  I bought the WordPress upgrade and am not completely sure what additional privileges that gives me. I want to add additional plug-ins to my blog. There is a plug-in that allows you to show a feed of all your friends instagrams in one place. I know that there is a default widgets that allows you to upload your personal instagrams but I would like to show all my families instagrams. How can I put additional plug-ins to my blog. Do I have that ability with the upgrade? If not, why not and how can I have that ability?

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

  Hi there,

  With WordPress.com Premium, you get the following upgrades:

  • Domain Name & Mapping
  • Space Upgrade
  • No Ads
  • Custom Design
  • VideoPress

  WordPress.com Premium does not include the option to install plugins for your WordPress.com blog. 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: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you’d like to suggest additional features for us to include here at WordPress.com, you are welcome to discuss your ideas with other members of the WordPress.com community in the Idea forum here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas

  Please let me know if you have any questions!
