WordPress.com

Plugins are tools used to extend the functionality of the WordPress platform. However, they are only applicable to self-hosted blogs and web sites using the WordPress.org software. Plugins are not permitted here at WordPress.com for various security reasons.

Please refer to our article on the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org for further clarification.

If you require plugins, you’ll need to acquire your own hosting. You can move all your content over by following this guide or by having a Happiness Engineer do the move for you.
