PLUGINS absent on Premium Blog

    I recently upgraded to a WordPress Premium Package. I have not yet decided what I want my domain name to be, so I’m still on a “.wordpress.com” domain.

    I want to install a Lightbox plugin as a way to display my image content, but “Plugins” is not an option in my dashboard under “Appearance.”

    Is this somehow tied into the fact that I haven’t chosen my custom domain yet? If not, how can I get plugins as an option in my dashboard?

    Thank you,
    Patricia Feysinger

    While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:

    Plugins

    Also, for more information on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, please see:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    If the Lightroom plugin is crucial to your site design/plans, you may want to consider switching to a self hosted WordPress site. If that is the case, I can refund your WordPress.com Premium purchase.

    Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
