Widgets not available on ww.wp.xz.cn
-
I recently moved my free wordpress.com site to a ww.wp.xz.cn site and I have no options for any of the widgets that I used on the free site. There isn’t an option to follow the site and I can’t add share buttons to the blog portion of the site, add a link to a book, a blogroll, etc. Can these be accessed somewhere else. Do I need to pick a particular theme to have access to these?

You’ll need Jetpack for all those features. 🙂
My new site isn’t self-hosted, so I don’t think I can use jetpack. Is there a similar product for hosted sites? I made the move from self-hosted to hosted because I thought it would increase my options. It’s done quite the opposite.
Who are you hosted with?
Thanks for telling me about jetpack, though. I might just be going back to my original site, and I’ll definitely use it there.
I’m with Blue Domino.
Hm, I have not heard of them, but they appear to be a normal hosting provider, and you are hosted with them, and that is generally all we mean by “self-hosted.”
Can you not add plugins via Plugins -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard?
I just went looking in Plugins. Thanks for the suggestion! There’s one for custom sidebars that might be the answer and some others for widgets. I’ll give them a try. Thanks!
I went back to Jetpack, as you suggested, and it worked after all. Yay! And thanks for your help.
You’re welcome! 🙂
