Database Plugin?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Is it possible to install a database function to my site? I want to list all the a Vertue Yachts ever built and then allow people to search by various criteria (place of manufacture, current location, size of cabin, rigging, etc). Obviously I could just list them but it would be good to have the ability to perform searches.

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

  • Heya,

    WordPress.com has a lot of built-in features that were inspired by popular plugins. Chances are, the feature you are looking for is already there! You can search our support site via this link:

    Home

    For any features on WordPress.com, the support page will explain how to set it up.

    It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Hi Steve – thanks for that answer but it doesn’t really answer my question. I have already searched the support site but could not find if there was any database-like feature within wordpress.com – hence my question on this forum.

    So the question is again: is there any database functionality possibly through wordpress.com which would allow me to do what I specify above?

  • Hey there,

    There is no built in functionality which will address those needs I’m afraid, outside of the basic search that is available on WordPress.com blogs.

    Hope this clears things up.

    Cheers
