Where can I find my Plugins directory?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have downloaded a couple plugins but cannot seem to find either a wp-content folder or Plugins folder in my Dashboard. It is not listed under Appearances. Where can I upload or find these plugins that I have downloaded?

    Thank you!

  • While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:

    Plugins

    However, we do have several built-in features that were inspired by many popular plugins. You might find what you want by searching for it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/

    What feature are you looking to add with a plugin?

    Also, for more information on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, please see:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

    Thank you so much for your quick response, I appreciate it. On various forums that I’ve been reading, it does seem that others with plugins capability had something different going on – they were self hosted sites, OK.

    Basically I’m looking to add social media buttons to the site, I figured this would be simple like a widget, but it’s not. And I want to add “Pin It” to some of the photos. Is that possible without plugins?

  • THAT I can help you with. We have a support page on setting up social media links:

    Take a look through that page and let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll be happy to help.
