  Hi, im having a problem with changing the main featured image of the blog.

  I go to : ‘settings’ > ‘reading’ as i have always done but the ‘featured content’ button has gone

  I have changed the main image many times. I used to do it with every new blog post, but its randomly disappeared and i am not sure why??

  Any one else have this problem?

  Also how do you install plug-ins? every tutorial online is outdated.

  Thankyou very much for any help, i appreciate it :)

  Hi there,
  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  Also note that tutorials you find online apply to WordPress.ORG installs. The only support docs that apply to free hosted WordPress.com blogs are here http://support.wordpress.com

  As for the disappearing Featured content link issue what can I say? Staff has improving things again and it’s gone http://dsmmcm1314digitalpeople.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php so I’ll tag this thread for a Staff response. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there – That setting has moved to Appearance->Customize->Featured Content. :)

  Let me know if you have further questions!

  Featured Content isn’t available on the WP interface I have with Go Daddy. Why is that?

  Hi there – It depends on your theme. We are discussing a particular aspect of a particular theme here at WordPress.com. :)

  You can get support for your GoDaddy site here:
