  Hi. I wanted to upload a audio file for one of the pages on my WordPress site. But when I tried to do it says my site does not support video/audio files and to upgrade to a different plan to do so. Is it because I have a free WordPress site? And if I do upgrade do I have to pay?
  I really don’t wanna have to pay anything

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi koolbeanz247,

  Yes, you would have to upgrade to host video or audio files. You can read more about what files you can upload here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  However, you can upload audio or video files to another site, such as YouTube or Soundcloud, and embed the content on your blog.

  Does that help?
