  If you made the same mistake as me you cannot add plugins to the site if hosted on wordpress.

  You need seperate hosting of wordpress to enable the ability to use plugins I have since found out.

  I hope this helps

  You would need to export your current website from settings and then import when you have wordpress installed on a hosting provider. If you look at hostinger for free hosting once you make an account they have a option to auto install wordpress for you.

  I hope this helps
