  I am trying to upload a plugin for a wordpress site I have (specifically, the coursepress plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/coursepress/). I am having trouble figuring out how to do it. I am able to download the plugin, but when I go to the plugins page on my site, there is a message that says, ‘Uploading your own plugins is not available on WordPress.com.’ I have both a wordpress.com site and wordpress.org site. Is this feature available on either platforms? Is this a feature that has been phased out? Thanks for any help!

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

  Sites hosted at WordPress.com cannot upload plugins.

  You should be able to upload it on your self-hosted (WordPress.org) site. This page tells you how to do it: https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins
