  I would like to use third party WordPress Plugins on my site. It seems that sites hosted on WordPress.org do not support Plugins in the Dashboard. I would like to transfer my site to be hosted on WordPress.com to access the Plugins. Please let me know how this can be accomplished or if there is a way to implement Plugins with the site I currently have hosted with WordPress.org.

  I’m very confused with the differences between WordPress.org and WordPress.com.
  Please get back to me with a solution asap.

  Sincerely,
  Tom

  WordPress.com has a lot of built-in features that were inspired by popular plugins. Chances are, the feature you are looking for is already there! You can search our support site via this link:

  For any features on WordPress.com, the support page will explain how to set it up.

  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:
