  Hello,

  I want to use plugins. Will the premium upgrade allow to use plugins?

  I searched for the answer, and apparently plugins are only possible on wordpress.org.

  Your research is correct. However there are many built in Plugin’s, they are called Widgets and short code here

  What fancy Plugin cant’ you live without? – it might already be built in (such as Galleries)

  It would be a shopping cart plugin. But even if the plugin would work, it now seems ,upon further reading, that shopping carts aren’t allowed.

  So now I probably have to move the wordpress.com site to worpress.org / as a self hosted site. The blog is very recent with only a few posts, so the moving is not that much of problem, except that I also already purchased a premium theme.

  Not sure if I can take the theme that I purchased with me, when I move it to a self hosted wordpress site.

  Thanks

  No, the Premium theme is only available for the life of the site on WordPress.com.

  However, there is a 30-day refund period, so if you are within that, you can start the refund process in My Upgrades in your dashboard.
