  I am looking to create a new site to showcase around 400 pieces of art and was wondering if it is possible to have both search and filtering capabilities?

  Is this something that can be added to any template or are there specific templates you would recommend?

  Hi there,

  Every site on our servers can have a search option. And if you organize your posts in to tags and categories, those can act as filters of a sort. We just don’t have a filter that “filters” down with multiple criteria, so if you could find pieces in the oil paintings category, or all works called Picasso, but you wouldn’t necessarily be able to filter for oil only bay Picasso using a tag and a category at the same time.

  At least not with the free site. Though I am sure there are search and filter plugins that would work if you’re opting for a plan that will support them:

  Thank you for your reply :)

  Can you tell me which paid plan I would need to support such a plugin?

  Are these easily added to any template?

  Hi there,

  Using any plugins on WordPress.com needs at least our Business Plan.
