  Hi there,

  I need to install two plugins on my sorbet theme. Ezonline booking to allow my visitors to book my place and cincopia to create a gallery of pics for my listings. Plugins doesn’t appear in my appearance menu. I found out after purchasing a premium account that wordpress.com accounts can’t use plugins. Correct?
  Only wordpress.org accounts can, right? It must be self hosted? Can I transfer my website from wordpress.com to wordpress.org then if that’s the ONLY option? Or there is a way to activate them with my current account?

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

  Yes, that is correct.

  Can I transfer my website from wordpress.com to wordpress.org then if that’s the ONLY option?

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

  Or there is a way to activate them with my current account?

  I’m afraid there is not. Plugins do not work on WordPress.com.

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

The last thing I need to know then is when I transfer from worpress.com to wordpress.org will my website address remain the same? currently http://www.odysseusjourney.com but I purchased the domain names odysseusjourney.com and odysseusjourney.org…
