Title: Questions about capabilities Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Questions about capabilities * [LiAnn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liann/) * (@liann) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/questions-about-capabilities/) * Hi all, * I’m not using WordPress yet – I’m thinking about it – but I’ve got some specific questions as to its capabilities. I was hoping I could get some definitive answers. I’m looking at migrating from another CMS, which is now acting increasingly cantankerous after its last upgrade (and is suddenly charging a lot more money to run multiple sites…and I can’t get any community support) so these capabilities are things that I had with the previous CMS that I’m hoping WP offers: * can I add custom fields to blogs? For example: if I want a place to store a meta description with each post, or if I want body text and extended text separate fields? I did find [this](http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields) in the support docs; but it looks like the data it stores is too small. (One of my blogs has three “body” text fields – because yes, in one instance, the content really is that lengthy.) * can a single post span across multiple pages? * does WP allow the author to tag their posts – and then allow users to filter for all posts with that tag? (Answer may be yes; but I’m still checking.) * can I make some templates (and thus all content displayed through those templates) visible only to logged-in members? * Can I make some content within a template change, depending on a member’s status( logged in or logged out)? I don’t only want password-protected posts; but I’d like to display a summary to the general public and additional content to logged- in members only.

(Answer may be yes; but I’m still checking.) * Yes, built in ability to sort, Categories, Tags and Authors. * > can a single post span across multiple pages? * Pages and Posts are different things, both can be real long, many screens, Not sure if I answered this one enough. * > can I install my admin folder into a folder other than something called wp- > admin? (I think so…but wanted to check.) * I don’t think so, but not my strongest area of knowledge. * Some of the others I think so, but they are above my pay grade and others should be able to add more information. * Good luck * Moderator [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/) * (@ipstenu) * 🏳️‍🌈 Advisor and Activist * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/questions-about-capabilities/#post-1604913) * > can I rename my index.php file to something else…like “blog” (completely removing > the .php extension)? * As mentioned, no, BUT! 🙂 You don’t have to use index.php. You can use domain. com/blog and that will work just fine. * > can a single post span across multiple pages? * You can split up a post into multiple ‘pages’, but don’t confuse that with the other tuype of Pages in WordPress. Goofy terminology. If you put `
