Can't installed widgets in WordPress...
I have a Wordpress premium account. I am interested in the WP-emembers widget.
To my surprise, I discovered after buying the widget that you must have a business account to install the widget.
That's another $204 USD a year. I was not expecting to upgrade my account just so that I
can install widgets. :>(
Does anyone know of a list of free widgets that I can review?
Maybe one of those will suit my needs.
Thanks!

My bad. Here is the link: https://wordpress.org/plug ins/wp-mem bers/
Regardless I can't install a plugin. At the top of the page, it says: Upgrade to the Business plan to install plugins.

Thank you David!
your site is hosted (for free) at wordpress.com...
what you could do is change hosts to one that allows an installation of a regular WP site, such as Dreamhost (WordPress is FREE): https://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress/#pricing-comparison-chart and you can see that the price range is $2.59 to $71.95 per MONTH
you can also transfer your wordpress.com site to Dreamhost
this is one choice among many

Thank you, Paul, for your input! You have given me something to think about.
Check https://WordPress.org/plug
Widgets can be injected into a site by a theme or plugins.
Maybe expand your question with...
1) Whether you're really talking about a widget or plugin.
2) Link to site where code exists you'd like to use.
From this additional info, likely many people can make suggestions of alternatives to you.
