    Hello,

    Im building a site in wordpress.com, and i need to have two main sections, a free section, visible to all, and a premium or paid section, where a user will have to sign up, verify his e-mail account for security and sign in after payment. Payment may not include e-commerce… i can use other methods to verify user payment. But i need to handle user signatures and login… how do i do that?

    It’s not possible to set up a paid membership register on a WordPress.COM hosted blog and provide username accounts and logins. That can only be done on a WordPress.ORG software install.

    WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

    See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ offered by WordPress.com.

    Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
    Business bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/

    Note that the free plan and the Premium plan do not allow you to upload your own themes or plugins. So there is no ability to use the membership registration plugins available for WordPress.COM software only. WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions unless they have the $299. per year Business upgrade. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ecommerce-is-now-available-on-wordpresscom?replies=1
    See here for ecommerce details http://en.support.wordpress.com/ecommerce/

    A self-hosted WordPress site offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, register members, provide username and logins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ For web hosting see http://wordpress.org/hosting/

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums.

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

    Thank you… It´s a shame wordpress.com doesn´t allow php and database, not even at a minimum level. Template building, CSS, code designing and stuff are so tiring and time consuming. I am not coder or something like that….

    Anyway, thank you again… I guess this will have to wait…

    Can I transfer data from wordpress.com to wordpress.org??
