How do I FTP upload to a wordpress.com hosted blog?

  • I know or think I know that I need an FTP program, which I have. I haven’t been able to set up the FTP successfully nor can I find instructions other instructions besides uploading to wp-content/plugins/ which if I could login to ftp I could probably find. Does wp-content stand for https://userid.wordpress.com?

    Also, I read that you can go to the Administration Panel / Plugins to upload, but I don’t have a Plugins link. Don’t know why?

    TIA for any help.

  • I do not believe WordPress.com gives you FTP access, or the ability to install custom plugins.

    WordPress.com is great if you just want to easily set up a basic blog, but if you need full customization, plugins, etc.. you would need to setup a hosting account with someone, and install the standard version of WordPress.

    Thank you. In all the quick reading I did on managing plugins, I didn’t see that little tidbit of info.

    The company that hosts mine has a plan for $3.95 a month, if you’re looking for one. They also have a one-click installation available. I’ve gotten pretty good service from them so far.
