Moving Thesis blog to DAP Membership site...which WP theme?

3 replies
I run an online and offline training/contest prep company for female physique competitors (not bodybuilding...more girly/normal stuff). My blog is about 3 years old and needs a facelift, and I also need to move away from working directly with people and more into information marketing. I bought the Digital Access Pass software and the xenforo forum software it now integrates with. I also have a new theme I've been working on which I think looks really nice:

Its critical in my niche that I showcase my clients, which I do already with great results. So what I'm hoping is that this portfolio theme will meet that need, but also give me what I need in terms of SEO AND integration with the DAP software. I know DAP works with any wordpress theme, but am I at a major disadvantage not going with something like Optimize Press? I mainly just want to start off with a ~$10-$15/month fee for premium articles/videos/forum members only section, and then add a couple more expensive packages later. Right now with my thesis theme, I can write a simple blog post and be at or near the top of google immediately for all the relevant keywords, so I also don't want to mess that up. Thanks for any help...I'm learning as I go with all of this.

Oh, and I should also add that pretty much nobody in my niche (contest prep, not just general personal training/fitness) uses the typical squeeze pages/copywriting, etc...I would have possibly the only membership site so not sure I would even need a lot of the functionality of optimize press.

    Why not use DAP with your current theme? It will work with WP, as well as a stand alone membership script.

    Unless you just want to get away from the Thesis theme and try something different?

    Cheers,

      Yeah, looking to change the theme to something a little flashier out of the box. Just want to make sure I won't be missing out on anything major functionality/performance wise.
