WordPress Studio on free wordpress.com blog?
-
I saw that WordPress has a local design app called Studio. Can that be used in conjunction with a free wordpress.com blog? Or is this tool only for paid or self-hosted blogs? Thank you

Hello @bogotimesauthor
Yes, indeed. Studio is a new local WordPress development environment that you can run on macOS and Windows. You can deploy a site you create with Studio to WordPress.com or to another hosting service.
Currently you’ll want to have a WordPress.com Creator plan on WordPress.com so you can use a plugin like All in One WP Migration plugin to migrate the local, Studio site to WordPress.com. I recommend reviewing the documentation for Studio for more information about this app, here: https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/developer-tools/studio/
If you’d prefer to create a free WordPress.com site, I recommend working on that site either through your browser or using one of our desktop or mobile apps:
- WordPress.com desktop apps: https://apps.wordpress.com/desktop/
- Jetpack mobile apps: https://jetpack.com/mobile/

Hello, Studio is a developer app to locally create and manage websites. Here’s Studio’s introduction post https://wordpress.com/blog/2024/04/24/studio/ and more on using Studio. https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/developer-tools/studio/
Also just mentioning, in case this was your intent, if you want to create a custom theme for a single WordPress.com website, including free websites, you can use the Design Your Own feature that is built in to WordPress.com Here’s more on that https://wordpress.com/support/themes/design-your-own-theme/
Post back here if you have more questions.

/waving @pauljacobson that’s what happens when I step away from the computer for lunch and forget to refresh first. :)
