  Hi all, I am considering moving away from my current website provider and going to WordPress. However one of my site requirements is a members forum, where club members can sign in and talk to each other privately.

  Hi –

  Do you use an existing plugin for this function on the site?

  Plugins can be used on WordPress.com as part of our business plan. That information is here:

  https://wordpress.com/pricing/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/

  Otherwise, you can set up your own WordPress installation. This is known as WordPress.org.

  There are 2 versions of WordPress, which can be confusing when you first get started. I’d suggest reading over the following materials so you can make the best decision based on your experience and the site requirements.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  WordPress.org: https://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress
  WordPress.com:
  1. https://learn.wordpress.com/
  2. https://en.support.wordpress.com/video-tutorials/
  3. https://en.support.wordpress.com/grow-your-community/
