  Does wordpress.com restrict what plugins can be installed? For example – can I create and self install plugins like I can on a self-hosted wordpress site?

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hi @canal3lowell,

  In short, yes. You will need to purchase a Business or eCommerce plan for your wordpress.com site in order to install plugins. More detail can be found here: https://wordpress.com/support/plugins/

  Hi @neanderstaal
  I under the license requirements for installing plugins on wordpress.com.
  My question is if I have a license that allows plugins does wordpress.com limit which plugins can be installed? I make basic plugins for my own sites frequently and don’t want to lose that capability.
  Thanks!

  Hi @canal3lowell,

  It depends on what type of plugins you’re creating. There’s a list of incompatible plugins here that should give you an idea of whether or not the types of plugins you use will work.
