# PHP on hosted blog

 * We have a hosted website with a WP BLOG. I had them upgrade their PHP for WP 
   primarily to be able to add plugins on our own (for speed and forms). Not sure
   yet what they upgraded to. We still do not have an”add” button for plugins. Is
   there something I need to do to upgrade our page before other tools in the upgrade
   are available?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-on-hosted-blog%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You need to contact their tech support. Usually, you receive an email notification.
 * To add themes/plugins, you must log into WordPress with the administrator account,
   using the Admin Dashboard login page.

 * The only notice I received was my contact there writing they have modern PHP 
   version. I am logged in, the button just is not there. I had assumed that by 
   upgrading the PHP, the additional plugins would be available.

 * Ask them about the version. You have to search for the plugins, and install them

 * So if hosted, they need to install plugins individually if not loaded already?
   I have about 115 plugins available but none are those available for speed or 
   sign up forms (like MailChimp). I guess question is if there is something I can
   tell them about loading in such a way that I have access to all plugins and can
   activate myself.
