Radiation Oncology COVID19 Collaboration

    Dear WordPress Leadership,

    My name is Oscar Padilla and I am a Radiation Oncology provider in New York City. I am writing to request your assistance in creating and launching a website to convene experts in my field to share their clinical practices in real-time during this time of crisis. In particular, I am looking to integrate the google suite and other plug-ins currently offered under your Business Plan in order to create forums around particular clinical topics (ideally organized in a dynamic table format).

    As you know, New York City has been greatly afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic and Radiation Oncology practices within our department are constantly evolving to adapt to the increasing demands and diminishing resources imposed by the ongoing public health crisis. This can also be said of other Radiation Oncology departments across the country and, now, the world.

    Given that radiation therapy is a very technical and complex intervention, providers as well as cancer patients stand to greatly benefit from communal expertise, which I believe can be achieved through a public real-time share space such as a website.

    In this time of escalating healthcare needs, I implore your assistance in this time-sensitive feat.

    I will await your response.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Oscar Padilla, MD MS
    Columbia University Radiation Oncology
    New York, NY

    Hello Oscar,

    I’m not completely sure what your question is here.

    Just to clarify, you have posted in the support forums for the hosting provider, WordPress.com, where we primarily provide support for free sites hosted on our platform.

    WordPress.com is a do-it-yourself web hosting platform, using the open source WordPress software, where we provide you with the tools you need to easily create your own website without having to know anything about web design or programming. We do not provide a service where we build a website for you, so if that’s what you’re looking for, we recommend that you hire a freelancer via Upwork.com to help with this:

    The most popular way to create a forum of the type you describe is using the bbPress plugin, which can be used on our Business Plan. However, we do not make that plugin, so we are not able to provide support for it. For any questions about or help with using that plugin, you can ask in the forums at https://bbpress.org/

    Let me know if you have any other questions about using WordPress.com.
