  Hi, Im very new to this, so i apologize in advance. I have been google searching for over a month to try to get my idea made into a word press site. I am trying to make a user created review site, the same way yelp is set up. I want users to be able to join my site, i want them to be able to review the items, and most importantly, i want them to be able submit new products to the site to be reviewed. This is where i have been hitting a wall. OI have been finding alot of review themes that let users review, but they do not let users submit a new product…I would like to allow users to be able to submit a product much like the way you can submit a new business to review on yelp.

  I found a theme that im providing as an example that has been the closest thing to what i want..except it is a location-based theme, and my reviews are going to be for a item..not a location

  Thanks for any help or advice!!!-Dustin

  Do. You. Have. ANY. Idea. How expensive Yelp.com was to set up?

  What is your budget?

  lol i know Yelp cost a ton of money to set up, and my budget does not come close to it, with a budget of $10,000, but im not trying to make something as extensive as yelp, i was just using their format as an example as allowing users to submit a products to review, versus the admin being the sole contributer of the products being reviewed….it seem there are themes that allow this on locations, but not actual product…i do not need location services for what im planning

  You need to be at WordPress.ORG instead of WordPress.COM. What you want would cost tens of thousands a YEAR here, in addition to setup costs.
