Two Questions
-
1) Can I add a register/login section to my website via wordpress.com? I ideally wanted to allow users to register/login every time they visited my page and store their details in a database/server on the back end.
2) If I pay the premium monthly fee do I get access to all the premium templates? or do I have to pay for the premium template on top as well?
Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

(1) No
(2) NoThis guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress where you can set up a site the way you describe http://move.wordpress.com
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
wordpress.org support
The wordpress.ORG support forum is at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support. -
Hi Dan
You can do a members section of your blog by following these directions:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/tutorials/build-a-membership-website-tutorial/
The member’s details are kept in accordance with the WordPress Privacy policy and the details beyond user name are not visible to youAnd if you have the premium plan, you do not pay additionally for premium themes! That is a fairly recent announcement:

1) Can I add a register/login section to my website via wordpress.com? I ideally wanted to allow users to register/login every time they visited my page and store their details in a database/server on the back end.
No that is not possible on any site hosted by wordpress.COM.

Let me clarify now that there has been an intervention here.
You cannot issue username account and passwords for any wordpress.COM hosted site. We bloggers do not have access to the database for wordpress.COM hosted sites.
Those can only be done on a wordpress.ORG multi-site installation. https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network If that is what you are seeking see: Moving to self hosted wordpress http://move.wordpress.com
What I post below applies only to sites hosted by wordpress.COM. If you wish to make some people official users of your WordPress.COM site with limited user roles read on.
You cannot password protect a whole wordpress.COM site. You can password protect posts and/ or pages on a site.
You can have either a public or a private WordPress.COM hosted blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. Contributors cannot upload images. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings. If you select option 1 then the blog will be a public one, available to all with internet access to read.
If you wish to add official users see these support docs:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-viewers-to-a-private-siteUsername accounts are required but registering blogs under them is not required. The invitees will have to register a WordPress.COM username account which requires an email address only, but they do not need to register a blog. That requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official users and allow access only to those with username accounts and official roles on the blog.
If the person being invited to contribute to your blog does not already have one, he or she will have to register a WordPress.COM username account. He or she does not need to register a blog. There is a just a username please option. The invitees who lack username accounts select the “username only” option here: https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1
NOTE that as you have an account you would have to log out and clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies to witness the process as the invitees without accounts would experience it.
Upon receipt of the invitation, the invitee will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If the invitee is logged into their WordPress.com username account, he or she will be taken directly to your blog. If not, he or she will be taken to the log-in screen, where he or she can either log in, or can register a new WordPress.COM user account.
The invitees need to be logged into their WordPress.com account prior to clicking the “Accept Invitation” link.
Invitees who do create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.

The number 10 is the number of outstanding invitations you can have at any point in time. That limitation is a spammer prevention measure. Wait until the invitees have registered and send out 10 more.
