  Hello @vetpetblog,

  Assuming you’re referring to vetpetblog.wordpress.com, the plugin feature does’t work because plugins are not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons – despite the plan you’ve chosen. Therefore, the plugin feature won’t be displaying in any of the themes you’ll activate.

  Plugins can be upload and activated on the WordPress.ORG software, which powers the self-hosted websites. For more information about the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG please visit this link: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/.

  I hope this information is useful for you. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

  Hi there. Plugins are used on self-hosted WordPress sites, and are not possible for you to install here on WordPress.com.

  Some features are built right in though, so we may be able to offer suggestions… What are you looking to do/add on your site with a plugin?

  If you’re looking for a theme, you can sort by feature on this page to narrow down your options: https://wordpress.com/themes/

  Let me know if there’s anything specific I can help you with. :)

  Hi there! WooCommerce isn’t currently available on WordPress.com, but can be used with your own install of WordPress (from WordPress.org).

  There are many hosts that let you install WordPress on them other than Bluehost, such as Pressable and SiteGround. If you have a host in mind that you’d like to use, it’s worth checking to see if they can host WordPress, since many do.

  (This page gives a quick overview of the differences between .com & .org if needed: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/)

  Let me know if you have any more questions! :)
