  Hello,

  Is there any way to avoid paying for business plan to get widgets?

  I have a domain registered on another website but want to build my site on wordpress, because of the CMS.

  I heard that if you map your domain to wordpress, you get free access to widgets, because they are related to owning hosting. Is it true?

  Greeting, Martin

  I meant plugins, not widgets… sorry. How about plugins?

  WordPress.com is a shared environment and we do not allow installing third-party themes or plugins for security reasons. Business sites undergo a series of structural changes to allow that and that is why you’d need Business plan to install a plugin.
