I want to install a “Signatures” plugin but it’s not visible on the plugins page. How can I do it?

Welcome to Meta @Jay_Palapar! :wink: If you are self hosted, you first have to install the plugin before it appears in admin/plugins where it can be enabled or disabled. If however, you are hosted by Discourse, this plugin is only available on the enterprise plan.

Thank you so much @ondrej for a quick reply. I’m using a business plan and hosted under Discourse.

In this case, you would have to upgrade your hosting plan. If you are interested you can email team@discourse.org and they’d be happy to assist you. However, you are not locked in - your data is your data so if you wanted to, you could always self host as Discourse is 100% free and open source.

This is sounds great, @ondrej ! I’m hoping if I can get a contact number on the support team so that I can reach out to them fast, sometimes when I reach out to them using team@discourse.org I didn’t get any response immediately and even until now.

AFAIK there isn’t a direct number (I may be wrong), but an email usually helps. Staff also “patrol” the forum daily, so they can usually respond quickly.

We heavily monitor the inbox, I hope this did not somehow end up in a spam inbox, can you PM me with details of stuff that you have that is waiting for too long?
