  Hi,

  I have hosted wordpress website which currently has blog posts.

  I want to add 2 more features – Forum and Directory listing

  How I can do that? Any free plugins available for Forum and directory listing. I need both to be behind login (Register or login thru Facebook)

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.

  You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with your site because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
