  Hello,

  I’m trying to add a plugin for acuity scheduling to my site reenadavis.com. In the wordpress help it says to go to plugins along the side but that isn’t showing for me. How can I do this?
  Thanks,

  Reena

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

  Hi Reena,

  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress.org blogs.

  If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Looking at Acuity Scheduling’s Help page it appears their other embed options rely on iframes and javascript, which won’t be available on WordPress.com.

  Sadly, I can’t see a way that we could embed the tools from Acuity Scheduling onto your site presently. What I’d recommend is that you create a link to your standalone scheduling page on Acuity, and add that link to your website in both a page and a widget:
