  Dear WordPress team,

  I want to create an online library where people can register and upload books.
  for that purpose, I want to create an option for users to register, and anyone who registers should be allowed to upload book with simple custom upload option.

  Can you tell me how can I add these two options (Registration and simple upload form) in my free WordPress plan?

  I have the plan to upgrade to premium after sometime.

  Thanks

  waiting for your reply,

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

  Hi Zakariya,

  You are able to create user accounts and roles on your blog, but I don’t think it will have the full functionality you’re looking for. Please check out these pages for more information on user roles: https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site

  You are also able to create “Members Only” areas, where people can request an invitation to become a member of your site. From there, you would create certain sections of the site where access is limited to members, including areas where you can share your e-book. With this option, users uploading their own e-books may not be available. For an in-depth tutorial on this, check out these pages: https://en.support.wordpress.com/tutorials/build-a-membership-website-tutorial/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  To create the exact type of website you’re looking for, you may want to look into a self-hosted site with WordPress.org. For differences between WordPress.org and WordPress.com, check this support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I hope this helps!
