WordPress Premium- activating plugins
-
Hi! I upgraded my site to your premium version today. I did so because I would like to use the pin-it-button plug in and it is my understanding that I am not able to use custom plug-ins on the free version of the website.
It appears that the premium version is prompting me to create a new blog rather than applying the premium services to my existing blog.
Can you help me transfer my existing reillyimages.wordpress.com blog to the premium version?
Thank you

You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting.
Aside from the limited plugins for eCommerce blogs http://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/ with the Business upgrade http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/, there is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs. We cannot install custom or third party themes, and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/We provide support only for sites hosted by wordpress.COM. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you move your content to a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

You seem to think you purchased something that was not offer here.
Read the details of the Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ please.
What you’ll get with this upgrade
The included domain credit lets you add a custom domain to your blog (so ‘wordpress.com’ won’t be part of your blog’s address).
Upload HD videos directly to your blog with VideoPress. No ads, no time limits, no watermarks — just your video.
Choose custom fonts and colors with Custom Design, or go under the hood with the CSS editor.
The No Ads upgrade makes sure ads will never show up on your blog.
Extra 10GB of storage space will give you ample room for images, audio and video. -

Your blog content does not move when you purchase an upgrade bundle.
We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading
https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingRead also: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
In order to map to a domain URL one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
If you do not register a .wordpress.com blog URL first then the software supplies the dot whatever URL so you can proceed with your domain mapping purchase.
All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the new domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the new domain URLs.

You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and purchase upgrades at > Dashboard> Store > My Upgrades

Be clear on the fact that what I post below applies to all sites hosted by wordpress.COM, regardless of upgrades.The only code that will work for Pinterest site verification of a wordpress.comblog is described here https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification and you must be logged into Pinterest when you are trying to verify?
The Pinterest “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear on your WordPress.com blog if you have added Pinterest as a sharing button on your Settings > Sharing page and if you are also using the “Official buttons” for the style of the buttons (you can change it on that same settings page).
We can hover over any image in a post and pin it if we are logged into Pinterest. If you have enabled the official buttons for sharing, a “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear for your images. https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ All we do after clicking the share button is choose one of the images displayed in the post to pin. It’s as easy as pie. ;)
See how to install the Pinterest browser button:
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Internet Explorer
Safari
Microsoft Edge
