  Hi,

  I currently am using the free version of wordpress. I want to add the tablepress plugin but there is no option for that in the plugin section of my dashboard. Is this because it is the free version? If so, what version do I need to get this plugin?

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

  re: HTML tables
  I make my own HTML tables and there are how to posts on my blog.

  I refer my readers to http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/table-coding-for-wordpress-com-users/

  And, another good reference is here http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

  Note that if you use Windows then Windows Live Writer it has a tablemaker > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/ Firefox users on Windows machines may need to clear the browser cache with ctrl+shift+del in order to get Firefox to recognize the formatting. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/posting-of-word-files-with-tables?replies=6

  If you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.

  Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. Permalink structure cannot be changed on sites hosted by wordpress.com

  For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.
