  Hello @fureyfamily!

  Can you please let me know if the website you need help with is: fureyfamily.wordpress.com?

  Also, if your website is a WordPress.com website (I will be waiting for you to give me the link, still), your website is connected clearly to a database but you don’t have access to make edits to it.

  You can also look at this thread that will answer some more questions: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpress-business-plan-questions

  If you would like a WordPress website that gives you access to make edits in the database or run specific queries, you should use the self-hosted version of WordPress.com which is WordPress.org.

  I will be waiting for your reply!

  Hi, fureyfamily

  Just for clarity are you wanting to do this with blog posts or for the whole website?

  Carl, just with the whole website at the moment or maybe some parts later

  I see. That would require an upgrade, however you would be able to build the website yourself.
  There is a guide on how to build a membership website here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/tutorials/build-a-membership-website-tutorial/

  Hope this helps
