UCI Sites is a managed WordPress hosting environment. This means that you cannot install or modify themes or plugins. This makes UCI Sites a more stable and secure environment as all plugins and themes have gone through a strict code review for security, stability, and compatibility and are centrally updated. You can focus on your content and not worry about updates and security.
The good news is that we have a large library of plugins available to help extend the functionality of your website.
