WordPress.com does not allow uploading of custom plugins.

This tutorial was made for self-hosted WordPress sites.

I am trying to install a plugin so I found one I wanted and downloaded it. I found these instructions “WordPress plugin you want and upload the plugin files to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory in your WordPress root.” but have NO IDEA how to do this. I can’t even find anything about plugins on my dashboard. Pleas help!

After installing plugin successfully you need to activate it and also do some adjustments from setting tab in wp-admin.

thanks

I’m hoping this doesn’t mean I should just give up, but I can’t even figure out how to accomplish the first sentence! How do I upload them, and where can I locate my plugin directory?

Do you have any ideas why that is so or do you know anything about the polldaddy plugin?
