Members only pages, search, etc
-
Hello!
I’m trying to figure out if what I’m trying to do is possible with WordPress. Basically, we just need these four things:1. website that can have public pages as well as a members only area
2. the members only area must be searchable only by members
3. option to include photo galleries and the photos must be able to have captions and the captions must be searchable
4. option to map to our own domainFor some reason I’m struggling to find a website builder that will allow me to do all of these things. Will WordPress? I got pretty far with Weebly and Wix only to find out that they wouldn’t allow captions or wouldn’t allow for search in password-protected pages, etc.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer me.

Hi,
Do read this helpful guide about building a Membership website: https://en.support.wordpress.com/tutorials/build-a-membership-website-tutorial/
You can have photo galleries with captions, this guide will help you: https://en.support.wordpress.com/gallery/
To map a domain you need to upgrade to a paid plan (at least personal plan). You can learn more about plans at: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

That’s not possible re: 1 & 2 here. See: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress http://move.wordpress.com

Pardon me. yoga1103 has provided the link to the relevant support doc above. I find that approach to be it too convoluted but you may not feel the same way.

Thank you both! Before I get too deep into looking into building a Membership website, is there a way I can make sure that search functionality will work? So far I’ve had trouble using a website builder that allows users to search non-public/password-protected pages.
