  Hi there,

  Only the Business plan support Facebook’s instant articles with the use of a plugin.

  Hey thanks a lot!
  Is there any other way I can use the Facebook Instant Article feature to publish my posts ?

  I’m afraid not. You need the plugin developed by Facebook:

  Alright. There is another way of publishing which is through RSS. Is it possible to activate this feature ?

  To reiterate over what fstat is saying, you will need to have Facebook’s WordPress plugin activated on your WordPress.com site to have Facebook Instant Articles working for you. That particular WordPress plugin is offered by Facebook.

  Custom plugin installation is available only on the WordPress.com Business plans and you will not be able to do what you are trying to achieve here without a WordPress.com Business plan. You can learn more about WordPress.com plans here. https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Instant Articles can’t work with WordPress.com’s RSS feeds.
