Looking to introduce community members with photos, perhaps in comments?
-
Hello!
I am looking for a way to introduce our community members, and we require a way that each member can be introduced and include a private (to our site) photo of themselves and their child.
Are any of these methods feasible?
a) a member can upload a photo to the comments section of a page
b) all members has editorial access just for a certain page to add their photo
c) must we resort to having the photos emailed to us so i can upload them myself?thanks so much!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Here at wordpress.COM the closest you can come to that is to build a Membership website: https://en.support.wordpress.com/tutorials/build-a-membership-website-tutorial/
If you wish to make some people official users of your WordPress.COM site with limited user roles read on.
What I post below applies only to sites hosted by wordpress.COM.
You cannot password protect a whole wordpress.COM site. You can password protect posts and/ or pages on a site.
You can have either a public or a private WordPress.COM hosted blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. Contributors cannot upload images. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings. If you select option 1 then the blog will be a public one, available to all with internet access to read.
If you wish to add official users see these support docs:

https://en.support.wordpress.com/gravatars/There’s always an exception of course, and in this case it requires upgrading the site to a WordPress.COM Business plan so you can install the required plugins.
Blogger installed plugins and third party or custom themes cannot be used on WordPress.COM hosted sites unless you have a Business Plan. We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/

If you do not wish to purchase a Business plan see also: moving to self hosted WordPress http://move.wordpress.com
