Permalinks and plugins missing from dashboard

    I’m using the free version of a blog on ww.wp.xz.cn.

    I do not see the option of permalinks inside the Settings section, and I don’t see plugins anywhere. See screenshots: http://screencast.com/t/VCvKAWrMl

    Does WordPress hide those options in a free blog account?
    BTW, I don’t know if I have access to FTP on this account. Also, I don’t know the version of WordPress I have because I don’t see any place to view that.

    thanks in advance!

    That is a WordPress.com blog, which we really can’t help with here.

    To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and ww.wp.xz.cn are two different entities: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/WordPress_vs_WordPress.com

    WordPress.com blogs don’t allow plugins for security reasons, and it’s not possible to change Permalinks on WordPress.com blogs, but they do have many built-in features based on popular plugins.

    WordPress.com has complete documentation and support contacts at https://support.wordpress.com/

    First of all, thank you very much for your swift and professional reply. What I want to do is change the default url for my blog posts so it won’t have the date in it. Do you have any idea if that’s possible where my blog is now?

    No, that is not possible on WordPress.com.
