  i know you can’t get plugins on the WP free sites, right? If so, will a $99 Premium account allow them? Thanks!

  WordPress.com has a lot of built-in features that were inspired by popular plugins. Chances are, the feature you are looking for is already there! You can search our support site via this link:

  Alternatively, if you tell me a little more about your goals, I can try to help you find the closest solution.

  For any features on WordPress.com, the support page will explain how to set it up.

  WordPress.com does not offer the option to install third-party plugins. If you would like more control over plugins and the option to install your own, a WordPress.org setup would be the best solution for you.

  This page explains the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org in more detail, if you’re interested:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Let us know if you have any more questions.

  If you need to use the plugin, you can move your site to a self-hosted, WordPress.org installation.

  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:

  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:

  In regard to your custom domain, mommystylist.com, the guide below explains how to transfer it to another registrar, including how to access the authorization (EPP) code:
