  Hi there,
  I am trying to activate the “ultimate-auction” plugin on a trial version of the WordPress but the dashboard doesn’t have the plugin option.
  What am I doing wrong?

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

  If you want to set up an auction site here:

  You might also review the TOS before you get too far along:

  I’ve read the TOS and went through the other links. Still couldn’t find anything about adding plugins….

  Hi,

  There are no additional plugins available for sites hosted at WordPress.com. These are the only plugins available and they are already built-in and you can’t add your own.

  If you want to get your own plugins, you would have to do the self-hosting at WordPress.org where you download the software and install it on your own web host.

  For more info about the differences between .com and .org, see here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Good luck!
