where to access plug-in menu
-
I don’t see anywhere on the dashboard for plug-ins and want to put an ‘under construction’ plug-in on the site.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
Third party plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.
Plugins are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.
I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

Please let me know! Cheers.

Hi Robyn,
Thanks so much for your response. I’ll check out the link. Basically, I wanted to be able to work on my site without it being live, so was trying to put up ‘work in progress’ or ‘construction site’ plug-in.
Anyway, it helps to know that I wasn’t crazy after all!
cheers,

Hi there!
You are not crazy :)
If I may offer a suggestion: why don’t you make your site private while you’re building it? Then it won’t be visible to anyone but you…when you’re ready to launch it, you can go public.
Here’s how:

Thanks–very helpful. I had forgotten all about the privacy setting.
Will give it another go! -
