  Dear Sir or Madam,

  I am thinking on having two domains: one for personal use and another one as a hobby and for both of them I need to install plugins.

  Is the premium version needed to have the plugin option in the edit website?
  At the moment I have only bought one domain. I am going to buy the other one as soon as I learn to use them correctly.

  Thank you in advance.

  I am looking forward to have an answer of your part.

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

  Hey there!

  Thanks for your note.

  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

  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.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Hi,

  Thanks a lot for your fast reply. My goal is to have the website in three lenguages (german, spanish, english)
  I need to do it the plugin called qTranslate. However, I need first to have the option to install plugins in general.

  You told me that I should use wordpress.org. How can I change my data to the “.org”-extension?

  Thank you again

  Hey there!

  If you need that plugin, you definitely do need to move to a self-hosted, WordPress.org version of your website.

  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:

  On a side note, some WordPress.com users create multi-language sites, without plugins by doing the following:

  Set Up a Multilingual Site

  This may not suit your needs, but I thought I’d mention it as a possible solution.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
