 * Hello,
    I just switched to self-hosted on Siteground today and I had assumed 
   it would afford me the opportunity to use custom themes on wordpress and upload
   plugins despite not having any of the paid plans. I’m not tech savvy so i dont
   know if this is just not possible or I dont know how to do it. Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-themes-plugins%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * If I understand your question, yes, the self-hosted WordPress would allow you
   to install themes and plugins.
 * For some guidance, review:

 * If still you can’t, check with your hosting provider why you can’t.
