Questions for an engineer

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello! I am looking to build a website with the following functionalities: a website that’s similar to a wiki- but one of the features of said website is a list of doctors that are taking patients, and I want to have a feature where the doctor can log in to a portal and like, click a yes or no button that indicates that they’re accepting patients/not, that is then updated on the site. I also want to create a forum space that’s accessible, but I may just try and create a discord server for users to access and join via an embedded link. Are these things possible via wordpress if I get the business plan?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi! From what you’re describing it does sound like a lot of the functions you’re looking for would be added via third-party plugins on your site, which means the Business plan is definitely what you’d want to start with:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/plan-features/business-plan/

    Basically, sounds like you’re looking for something that’s a blend of a social/membership site and directory if I understand correctly?

    We do have a couple of links here which might be useful for you:
    https://wordpress.com/support/tutorials/decision-guide-to-build-a-membership-website/#third-party-plugins

    There are message board-type plugins available, they’re mentioned in the link above! Of course you can also choose to link to a Discord server.

    Additionally, there do exist directory plugins too; you can find some examples of such plugins at WordPress.org:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/directory/

    I hope that helps, if you do have any other questions let us know!
