  I see there is the option to use other plugins for the site if I move to a business plan. Are these other plugins free, or do I pay for a business plan only to discover that I then have to pay even more for those additional plugins.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m interested in particular in a membership portion of the site where sign ups need to be approved and the content in the member area is restricted.

  In addition it would be nice if the members had profiles where they can upload their own gallery of photos/projects as well as leave comments.

  I saw 1 or 2 plugins that look like they’d function for that, but am reluctant to pay for a full fledged business plan without knowing if those plugins come at a cost.

  Hi tempawg,

  Upgrading to the Business plan means your site can install custom plugins. However, it doesn’t cover the cost of third party plugins purchased on sites like Theme Forest or in-plugin upgrades (for extra features) — they would be an additional cost to the plan.

  I’m interested in particular in a membership portion of the site

  Sure, you can search for membership plugins from My Sites > Plugins:

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
