Whatever you’re building on WordPress.com — a blog, a business site, a portfolio, a store — you have everything you need to create exactly what you want. From day one.

Plugins are now available on all paid WordPress.com plans, starting with Personal. And that’s just the start.

Everything that’s now included

From now on, users on each paid WordPress.com plan can explore:

• Plugins: Access 50,000+ plugins from the WordPress Plugin Directory and extend your site with new features whenever you need them.

• Global Styles: Control your site’s fonts, colors, spacing, and visual design across every page at once. 

• Font uploads: Upload your own fonts, including Google Fonts, and make your site look exactly the way you want it to.

• Custom CSS: Write your own CSS and customize your site at the code level.

Together, these tools give you professional-grade design control and the full power of the WordPress ecosystem.

What this unlocks for WordPress.com users

Site owners can now build and fully customize their sites from day one. Whatever functionality you might need to achieve your goals, you’ll find it built in.

First, make your site look and feel more like your brand. Control fonts, spacing, and layout across the whole site, or go deeper with CSS if you need something specific.

Then, start attracting more visitors and leads with plugins that add forms, bookings, and pop-ups, improve SEO, deepen analytics, and integrate with other tools.

From here, keep adding new features as you grow.

Existing customers are already in

If you’re on a current paid WordPress.com plan, there’s nothing to activate or upgrade. These features are already available on your account. 

Head to the Plugins section of your dashboard and start exploring.

Already on Business or Commerce plans? You keep getting more value

You’ve always had access to the full stack — and that hasn’t changed. Business and Commerce plans include everything offered in Personal and Premium while still giving you more control, performance, and scale.

Here’s what sets your plan apart:

• Advanced SEO tools: Go beyond basic plugins with built-in SEO features and deeper insights.

• Free priority 24/7 support: Talk to a WordPress expert right away when something breaks, or you need advice.

• Staging and developer tools: Test changes before going live and manage your site directly with SFTP/SSH, WP-CLI, and GitHub.

• Eight times more storage and VideoPress: Host large media libraries and video without worrying about limits.

• Automated backups and uptime monitoring: Feel secure with built-in fallbacks that include daily backups, one-click restores, and continuous monitoring.

The Commerce plan also gives you more control over your store, with 0% transaction fees on standard payments and advanced e-commerce features fully baked in, so you don’t overpay for them.

The bottom line: The platform just got more inclusive. Your plan is still the most powerful one we offer.

Choose your path to growth with WordPress.com

You now have real design control, the full plugin ecosystem, and the flexibility to keep adding features as your site grows. 

Whether you’re just starting out or overhauling your site, everything you need is already there.
