  Hey there @dblanton110, you are using WordPress.com Premium. It includes quite a a few features we’ve built into our services, like spam filtering and our CDN, plus our security, maintenance, and support. Extra code like plugins and outside themes can complicate the service we’re offering, so we require the Business Plan for plugin installation; as a service, we’ll have your back in ways that the free software itself cannot.

  Do you want to let us know what feature you’re hoping to add? We can let you know whether we’ve got something similar built in already, and how to set that up. Or, you can upgrade to the Business Plan to support outside code. And of course, you’re also always welcome to use your own free copy of WordPress with another host. You would need to use community resources or hired contractors if you don’t have time to take care of security, spam filtering, backups, support, and maintenance yourself. We have more information on the difference here.

  Let us know if you have questions!
