  Hi there,
  Sorry… but we cannot upload custom plugins on WordPress.COM. We can only use the built-in plugins that come with WordPress.COM.

  Check the list of built-in plugins for the plugin you might be looking for:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  But, you can request a plugin if you think it’s features are beneficial to the users of WordPress.COM, by posting your plugin idea on the Ideas forum.

  As it is written here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/#plugin-requests.

  The goal of WordPress.COM is to keep things simple. So that the technical stuffs are handled by WordPress and we focus on creating quality content.

  If you wish to have greater control over your site, you can use WordPress.ORG-a self hosted platform/software to create blogs, websites and more, with greater customization possibilities.

  Find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you wish to move your blog from WordPress.COM to WordPress.ORG, follow the instructions given here:
  https://move.wordpress.com/

  You can ask for help while creating your site using WordPress.ORG on this support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/. Because, this forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM.

  Hope this helps 🙂
