Database Functionality
-
I work for a member-based community organization and I am working on building a new, hopefully easy-to-maintain website. Currently I am experimenting with the free version, but we will upgrade to either Business or Premium soon.
I have been able to find most of the features I need in the free version with one big exception: I need to create a searchable database of our member businesses. What is the best plug-in to use, and do I need to purchase a plan at a specific level in order to use it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That cannot be done on a wordpress.com hosted site.

WordPress.com sites have some built in plugins but the one you want it not among them http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
If you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, advertising, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.
Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. Permalink structure cannot be changed on sites hosted by wordpress.com
For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

https://move.wordpress.com/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
