Hi Warriors,

I am looking for beta testers for a WordPress Membership theme that is currently planned for development.

The theme will be given for free to the beta testers to use one one site (and one site only).

Requirements:

1) Beta Tester must launch a site using the Membership theme within 1 week of getting a copy and provide a link to the site to me for verification

2) Beta tester must register at my forums (registration link to be provided) and provide feedback at least once per week for a period of 1 month (Feedback more often is appreciated but not required)

A detailed list of specs will be provided before the Beta Testing opens. Please reply to this thread indicating your interest and as we grow closer to Beta release I will contact you with details on how to download the theme.

Please indicate what features you will need in your reply so I can determine if this will be a good fit for you noting the following: currently the Membership functionality will be more limited to begin with, so this is not appropriate for complex membership sites.

Present anticipated launch specs:
  • All features found in my Refined Theme though with its own unique design
  • One level of membership initially (later versions will increase this to unlimited levels, but initially just one level)
  • Accepts payments through Paypal and ClickBank (other payment options will be added later)
  • Auto adds members to Aweber list (triggers send out of opt in confirmation)
  • Restrict access to blog posts:
    • one by one
    • by dates (for example, show posts from last 7 days, block the rest)
    • by number of posts (for example show last 15 posts, block the rest)
  • Block access to pages on a page by page basis
  • Blocks access totally on restricted pages/posts or show a teaser/excerpt

    1. automated drip fed content based off subscribers sign up (Like an autoresponder follow up sequence.)

    2. A possible built in affiliate system that supports one time, recurring, and even a higher first time with recurring commission setting.

    3. The ability to alter the design and layout of the theme. Ability to upload a header/footer graphics, edit the color and background layout, etc.. As well as the ability to create and upload "child themes".



    Those would be pretty good IMO

    Regardless, I have a few projects in the works myself. Would enjoy testing out your theme and see how it fairs against the actual plugins. Hit me up when your ready

    Thanks,

    Matthew Roe

      Hi Matthew,

      To start with its going to be pretty basic as outlined in the OP. Drip fed content built in affiliate functions will be added in down the line but won't be a part of the initial offering.

      The theme will come with 10 built in color schemes and have all the features you see in this theme.

      The only differences will be this theme has its own design and has the additional membership features added in. So you will have a child theme ready platform and the ability to change the header graphics.

        Thanks for the reply

        Another thought I had after posting the previous post was a facebook app intergration.

        Basically, what this will do is have the option for users to choose a facebook style comment feature or the generic wordpress comment feature.

        I understand it will be pretty basic starting out, not sure how basic or complex this suggestion would be (as I'm not a coder ) but it's another idea for you in the future?

        Basically, they choose which one to display. If facebook is chosen then it will turn off the WP Commenting structure and use the facebook code instead. However, if WP is chosen then it will turn off the facebook coding.

        Thanks,

        Matthew Roe

    Great idea to build a membership site plugin for Wordpress with Beta Testers who can offer ideas and expand the options and details expedientially. Wordpress is a great blog platform that is in dire need of a successfully useful membership plugin. I would be most happy to help you build what many need.

      HI, its probably a few months off yet and please bear in mind you will be a beta tester, this means that there will be bugs etc.

      The purpose of beta testing is to find and fix the bugs in a real life environment

      Hi Jay

      You would provide your own content. What I am providing is a WordPress theme with Membership features. You should be comfortable with WordPress and be able to produce your own content
