jasfraMemberI love this theme. I have a few questions (I am a WordPress.com novice). I didn’t see that the following were answered on the forum.
1. Can you add picture and video inside of a post? I saw below that thumbnails on post excerpts are not supported, but I wasn’t sure if media inside the posts were supported.
2. Does the theme support membership plug-ins? Translation plug-ins?
3. Are all browsers supported? If not, what browsers are supported?
Thank you in advance.

Kathryn P.Happiness EngineerHi there!
1. Definitely, you can add images inside a post: https://en.support.wordpress.com/add-media/
You can also embed video from many sources, such as YouTube and Vimeo: https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/
If you’d like to upload videos directly to your site, you can do so through VideoPress, included in the Premium or Business plan.
2. WordPress.com comes with a range of built-in plugins, but it’s not possible to install new ones.
There are a couple of ways to set up a multilingual site on WordPress.com:

A membership site would need to be set up manually, where you could invite users to a private site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/#invite-people-to-view-your-private-blog
If you need full-fledged membership or multilingual capabilities, you might want to consider a self-hosted WordPress site, where you run the software on your own hosting and can install any plugin. You can learn here about the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted (WordPress.org) sites:

3. We support the most recent two versions of all major browsers. The theme may also work fine work on older versions as well.
Finally, I wanted to let you know that Blog Simple is included at no extra cost in your Premium plan. Feel free to activate it here for free and see if you like it!

Kathryn P.Happiness EngineerI’m marking this as resolved since it’s been a while since we’ve heard from you. If you need help with anything else, don’t hesitate to start a new thread.
