  I’m trying to create a site where my users can enter information which I then display on a page. To do this I need a way to display text boxes and other input fields and then pull the inputted values to display on a page. I’m new to WordPress and am not on the .org version. Is this something that can be done on the regular version?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there!

  You can’t use any control here like as you said textbox and button and all. You can surely display the information of any user in page or in post but can’t use any control. Yet if you are not so sure than you can try by writing the code for textbox : in any demo page and publish it.

  First name: <input type=”text” name=”FirstName” value=”Mickey”>

  You will see you will not get any textbox in the page.

  Thank you !!
