  I would like to install a plug-in without business upgrade (do have premium). What do I have to do, the plug-in page only wants me to upgrade

  Hi there,
  You cannot install plugins in WordPress.com sites.
  To understand more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, visit this link:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Hi,

  thanks for the quick reply – very aware of the delta between the CMS and the hoster. Generally wordpress.com really doesn’t have many add-ins, but they do have some, i.e. gainst adds…

  In there, this is what’s stated:

  Note: WordPress.com Enterprise users should contact support and we’ll take care of the configuration for you.

  Hi Martin,
  In this case, you really would have to get WordPress VIP. Premium users, as far as I know, cannot install this sort of plugins.

  The VIP program starts around $20,000/yr and you need to interview to be accepted and have a WordPress “wizard” on your staff – – also the last time I looked at adding Plugin’s on the VIP program each new Plugin was $6,000 for a security review

  You are welcome

  What is the Plugin you want to install? – many built in “plugin’s” – they are called Widgets and short codes
