  My site does not have the plugins option in the menu.

  Plugins can’t be installed on a WordPress.com hosted site, but a lot of plug-in functionality is already built in: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  If there’s a particular plugin you have in mind, you might want to visit the idea forum and suggest that the plugin be added: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/#plugin-requests

  If you really need the plugin, consider moving to a self-hosted installation of WordPress. That involves registering a domain, buying hosting, and setting up a site using the free software from WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/

  For more information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, visit: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Thanks for answering my question. I need to create a portfolio in WordPress and I read that a plugin is required to create it. I spent so much time trying to install the plugin.

  Thanks for sharing the link to the idea forum.

  Thanks !

  This was helpful for me too!

  Wish you could add plugins on a free site but guess there has to be some limits ;)
