Membership script recommendation

MJ Schaefer · 08-11-2008, 07:32 AM

Hi chaps.

Looking for recommendations for a membership site script. Basically I want the script to be fairly "no-frills", allowing members to have a simple log-in to a Wordpress members' area. I used to use a script like Memberfire, which was absolutely beautiful apart from one little problem: it didn't automatically disable the memberships of those who had cancelled.

The fear is that a lot of these scripts have too many bells and whistles for my needs. Is there a decent, simple script that can do what I outlined above?

Thanks for any help (from a non-techie)

After getting to know Joomla a lot better, I can say that it should do what you need. You will have to use Joomla 1.0.12, I think, because the 1.5 version doesn't support the plugin that you would use. After installing it, you would need the AEC extension from http://globalnerd.com. This will take care of the membership stuff, allowing you to specify which membership levels get access to which areas of the site.

I believe that it also takes care of cancelling memberships, but I haven't actually used it yet.

Wordpress and amember work well together. Ive done a bunch of those integrations. You can see a demo of it in my sig. Wordpress is your content system, amember will hand the subscription/cancellations etc.. The only thing that's manual is refunds.

I've also used amember on several sites with amamber. It may be a little fancier than you're looking for, but it can also be used for simple bar bones membership sites without the frills.

Another vote here for Amember. I haven't used anything else, so I don't really have any basis for comparison. I just know it integrates well with Wordpress and I haven't had any issues with it yet.

This sounds like something that might be what you're after since referring to just wanting to take people right into a wp blog to manage...I'm pretty sure these guys have it setup like that.

I like easy member pro. It has a lot of other features you sound like you don't need but you don't have to use them all.

But pretty easy to use.
