  I’m considering adding Gravity Forms as a plugin, and noticed I may need to upgrade my WordPress account from ‘Free’ to ‘Paid’. Here’s what Gravity Forms has posted on their site:
  ‘Note: If you plan on using Gravity Forms with the hosted WordPress.com service, please be aware that you will need a WordPress Business Plan subscription. The other lower-priced plans on WordPress.com do not allow you to install your own plugins.’

  I currently host my own WP sites on Bluehost. Do I need to purchase a Business Plan Subscription on WordPress to utilize Gravity Forms? Thanks in advance.

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

  Ifoundleads,

  The site that you have linked to is currently hosted by WordPress.com. If this is the site you wish to use the Gravity Forms plugin with it would be best to upgrade to a Business Plan. If you have a site hosted by BlueHost, you should be able to install plugins without a WordPress.com plan.

  Best.

  Hi ifoundleads,

  I currently host my own WP sites on Bluehost. Do I need to purchase a Business Plan Subscription on WordPress to utilize Gravity Forms?

  Hosting a site with Bluehost means you are using the self hosted version of WordPress, WordPress.org:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  As @geogrphcblvck mentioned, you would only need to purchase a Business plan if you wanted to use Gravity Forms plugin on a WordPress.com site (ifoundleads.wordpress.com). Since your sites aren’t hosted with us, there is no need to purchase a plan :)

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.
