  Yes, wpDataTables can be used on personal blogs, but there’s a catch: on WordPress.com, certain plugins (like wpDataTables) require at least a Business plan to install third-party plugins. The Personal plan does not allow installing custom plugins.

  So, for your blog cfmoli dot wordpress dot com, if you want full wpDataTables functionality, you’ll need to upgrade to the Business plan.

  Alternatively, you could explore built-in WordPress.com table blocks for basic table creation if you prefer to stay on the Personal plan.

  Things changed a few months ago. Older existing sites with a Personal plan can’t add plugins. But NEW Personal plan sites now can add plugins.

  I’m on a Premium plan that does not allow plugins, but according to the link that @themagicrobot posted, new Premium plans do allow plugins. How do I enable plugins for my Premium plan?

  Hey @grahambw As @themagicrobot mentioned just above, existing Personal or Premium plans can’t add or activate plugins. However, new Personal or Premium plans upgrading from free can.
