  Hi there,

  You can create a directory site on WordPress.com, but that functionality is not built in. To do this you’d need to use a directory plugin, and plugins can only be used on our Business Plan.

  What is the difference between built in and not built in and how do I do this please?

  Is someone able to give me a quick demo?

  Hi there,

  To put it simply. Yes, you can create a directory site on WordPress.com. To do that, you need to upgrade to the Business plan and then install a directory plugin. That plugin will “transform” your site into a directory.

  Perfect and is there somewhere on the website that can talk me through how to create the website and also how to add my own domain? (As I already have one)
