widgets – is there more options?

  • Unknown's avatar

    at the moment im using a free-theme and wondering if I can download new widgets other than the ones listed in “appearance-widgets” menu? after searching through your website and my site dashboard i’ve came up with those questions:
    – does some of the options will change using different theme (free or to-pay-for)?
    – does different widgets are available for specific themes?
    – will i have to change a server or host for more flexibility?

    I’m hoping for a quick response, Thank You!

    Hi there,

    – does some of the options will change using different theme (free or to-pay-for)?

    – does different widgets are available for specific themes?

    It’s not really a matter of a premium/free theme. There might be different widgets for different themes, but the main widgets you will find are under Related here:

    Widgets

    This will be available on nearly all themes.

    – will i have to change a server or host for more flexibility?

    If you want to add plugins, yes. It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress.org blogs.

    If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Let me know if you have any questions with this!
