Answer 1

If you want plugins, you need to use WordPress.org, not WordPress.com.

From the link you provided:

If you are using WordPress.com, then you cannot install plugins.

In order to use plugins, you will need to use self-hosted WordPress.org (See the differences between self hosted WordPress.org vs WordPress.com).

Executive summary: WordPress.com is slightly easier to get started with but doesn't support plugins.

If you want to switch from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, then read our tutorial on how to properly move from WordPress.com to WordPress.org.

Click on 'Plugins', and then on the next page look at the very top to the right of the navigation menu. Do you see the button? The screenshot you provided does not cover that spot, and the navigation menu can sometimes bug up and not show submenu options.

As you got your answer but i want to clear more about it.

first of all you need to clear that with the help of www.wordpress.com you can create your blog but you can't do any extra customisation on your blog. but if you want to do this:-

You need to download your wordpress from www.wordpress.org org provides you full ability to use custom themes or use custom plugins or you can create your own plugin or theme.

Answer 5

The easiest way of installing a WordPress plugin is to use the plugin search. The only downside of this option is that a plugin must be in the WordPress plugin directory which is limited to only free plugins.

First thing you need to visit the Plugins » Add New page inside your WordPress admin area. Find the plugin by typing the plugin name or the functionality you are looking for. After that, you will see a bunch of listings.

You can pick the plugin that is best, then click the ‘Install Now’ button next to it.

WordPress will now download and install the plugin for you. After this, you’ll notice the ‘Install Now’ button will change into the ‘Activate’ button. Then click on it. It will activate.
