With what Plan Can I add plugins to my site

    Dear Support,

    Currently I have a free plan. I would like to add plugins like fixing redirects extended find.
    What plan allows me to do this? Personal or Premium or higher?

    I used Bluehost many years ago and had a lot of flexibility with regard to access to the WordPress plugins. Do any of the above plans allow access to say the .cfg files? Do I even need access to these anymore for say SEO?

    Thanks
    Raymond

    Hi there, just answering your above questions:

    The WordPress.com Business plan or eCommerce plan are the only plans that give you the ability to install 3rd party plugins (as @ryrhino00 pointed out) as well as accessing your files via SFTP. You can learn more about these features in our guides at:
    https://wordpress.com/support/business-plan/

    Please post back to us here if you have more questions about this after reading those guides.
