  Hi there. I’m trying to use WordPress for a final project for a public history class. Some of my other classmates have been able to use and download plugins despite having a free account, but every time I go to the plugins page I’m prompted with having to upgrade to a business account before I can download any plugins. Is there any way I can use plugins without upgrading to a business account?

  Hey there,

  Plugins can only be installed on WordPress.com if you have the Business Plan Upgrade:

  https://wordpress.com/business/

  They are usually used for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  For more information on plugins on WordPress.com, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

  Cheers,
