    Hi there!

    Third party plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.

    Plugins are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

    I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

    Sometimes, even without the installation of a plugin, we can help you gain the function you’d like here at WordPress.com. If you let me know your goals, perhaps I can help further.

    Please let me know! Cheers.

    I want to create an app that our members can use to reserve tables at our yacht club – the app should accumulate data on reservations that can be accessed in a summary fashion. I know you do not support iframes – if there is some other way to do that, I can link to a third party app that will do what I need.

    I did read afterwards the difference between org and com, so I may go that route if this does not work out. I would not do this by myself and would use wordpress to accomplish the transfer – no glitches!

    It sounds as if you may need a more sophisticated reservations system than we can offer at WordPress.com.

    You can create a contact form that would accept reservation requests, or you could use a theme (such as https://staydemo.wordpress.com/) that includes a contact form. However, these won’t collect data in the manner in which you may need — database format.

    Take a look at those options, however, and see if they suit you. You can also create your own widget that would link to a third-party website which would manage your reservations.

    If your yacht club accepts Open Tabe reservations, you can add that widget:

    If it looks as if WordPress.org is a better option for you, here is some information about the difference between hosting here at WordPress.com and self-hosting your site:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

    We plan to use Yelp’s Seat Me – is there a widget for that? If not, how do I create my own widget?

    Hello there!

    We plan to use Yelp’s Seat Me – is there a widget for that?

    There isn’t a widget for that app. However, here are instructions on creating your own widget:
