  I recently purchased the T1 Traffic Machine Plugin and would like the plugin feature adding to my account to allow me to install it.

  I currently have a free wordpress blog lockouttagoutsafety.wordpress.com and have just transferred a domain to be hosted on it at a cost of 9USD / Year to allow me to utilise the above Plugin within it.

  I notice however, there is no Plugin button on my account at present.

  Please can you advise on what I need to do to include this plugin onto my wordpress domain / blog http://www.safetypadlocks.com

  This plugin button is shown on the sellers website as part of the installation process

  Kind Regards

  Ted Boynton

  Hi Ted,

  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction: WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  Purchasing a domain upgrade replaces your free lockouttagoutsafety.wordpress.com address with your domain, but your blog is still hosted here at WordPress.com and doesn’t support installing new plugins. To install that plugin, you’d need to set up a self-hosted blog using the open-source software from WordPress.org.

  It looks like a main feature of the plugin you mentioned is SEO. If you’re interested in SEO, you might want to take a look at the SEO features built into WordPress.com blogs. We have more about that at these links:

  If there’s anything more I can help with, please let me know.
