  Where can I find plugins in my pro account? It is not under appearance in the tabs where I have been told to look. I thought plugins were available with a pro account. Is it possible it’s a theme issue?

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

  FTP access and plugins are only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

  There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot install plugins. If you must have plugins then you have to hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.org install. Read the comparison here please > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  See here so you understand what the bundle contains http://en.support.wordpress.com/bundles/

  If it proves that running plugins is a deal breaker for you then you can hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, and Guided Transfers. Provided you are logged in under the same username account that purchased the upgrades, you can request a refund yourself directly from the Store section of your Dashboard

  Note: It takes from 1 – 2 weeks for the refund to be received.
