    Hi there!

    While you may find many free plugins or themes out there, to install them on your WordPress.com site, you would need plan Business or higher.

    To explain, most sites on WordPress.com use a shared environment, meaning they all run the same software. This is great because it allows us to update millions of sites at the same time. It means we can fix bugs or offer new features very quickly, which is a win for you as users.

    Running multiple sites on the same software, however, can be dangerous. If we aren’t careful, one site could potentially be used to take down the entirety of WordPress.com. This is why we limit some of the things you can do on our different plan levels. A few of those things are adding custom plugins or themes, which is why we require a Business or higher plan to add those to your site.

    If there’s a specific feature or functionality you’re looking to add with the Astra theme, let us know. Maybe we can suggest an alternative without needing to upgrade! Just let us know, and we’ll be happy to advise.
