  Hey Guys,
  So i have been looking into switching our self hosted wordpress website over to the wordpress business package, but i first have a question about the package.

  1. Does the WordPress Business Package support the following plugins?
  – Events Manager Pro
  – Google Forms
  – MailChimp
  – Paid Memberships Pro
  – URL Redirect

  Hi @patmclaughlin1990,

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/

  If you read below the “What kinds of plugins or themes can I use?” header, it specifics that you are able to use almost any plugin except those that WordPress actively block because they’ve been found to cause problems with the maintenance of a site.

  Hope this helped!

  Cheers,

  Ally

  Hi @patmclaughlin1990,

  As long as the plugins are reputable (to the best of my knowledge most of them are) you shouldn’t have problem.

  In the support document it does mention that there is a very small number that are actively blocked but unfortunately, I don’t believe there is a way to 100% guarantee that your plugins are unavailable.

  Cheers,

  Ally

  Thanks @radtrad.

  @patmclaughlin1990, large scale membership plugins are tricky because they require WordPress.com logins.

  For right now you can still create a login if you use something like Theme My Login along with Paid Membership Pro. But we are working on better solutions. As we suggested to @radtrad, keep an eye on our blog and we’ll let you know when it’s out.

  Or, consider using your own WordPress.org installation at another host.
