How to add A directory to a "WordPress.com (free) site
-
Ok, as I understand it – You can’t add plugins to a WordPress.com site. – and you have the plug ins that it comes with – so what I want to do is add a directory to my wordpress site – preferably one that both I and the general community can ‘add to’ (or at least fill in a form and i will add it)
I ‘found this’ – that looks easy –
Turn Gravity Forms into a Directory plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/gravity-forms-addons/It seems like the ‘from’ thingy plug in that comes with the site is – Contact Form – https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
SO my question IS – What would people advise?
Thanks

If you are reading anything that makes you think that we bloggers can install plugins, advertising, custom themes or third party themes on sites hosted by wordpress.COM, then you are mistaken/misinformed. We have never had that ability. You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted blogs and wordpress.ORG installs on paid hosting.
Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality. Permalink structure cannot be changed on sites hosted by wordpress.com
For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

https://move.wordpress.com/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
