  Hi,

  I have a website on WordPress.com

  Will I be able to add a paid membership plugin on this .com website?

  Or will I need to host it somewhere else than WordPress.com?

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  Third party plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

  Plugins are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

  I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

  Sometimes, even without the installation of a plugin, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. If you let me know your goals, perhaps I can help further.

  Please let me know! Cheers.
