  My site will have user input and and be able to connect to a database. Can I make this type of site on WordPress?

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  Can you detail what you’re looking to build please? The reason being is that you may need a plugin to build what you’re looking to build and this may require a business plan.

  We’ll do our best to guide you in the right direction.

  Hello,

  I’m looking to build a site where users can find events and search by location , dates and potentially a few other filters if that helps.

  All the event info would be in a backend database.

  Hopefully that helps.

  And thank you!

  Thanks for clarifying! Yes, you would need to have a Business or higher plan in order to have access to PHPMyAdmin and MySQL:
