Help with membership solution

  • Hello

    I’m setting up a new website and need some advice on a membership solution.

    I need to restrict access to forums (wpFORO) and a WordPress page (and maybe subpages) that will contain member only information and resources. There seems to be a million plugins out there that can do this for me but I’m lost!

    Admins of the site should have accounts that never expire
    Members should have access to restricted content for 1 year and then need to renew again for another year.

    Can anyone recommend a simple to use plugin that will do the job for me?

  • Hello, wppileyrei, & welcome.

    Well, as you mention, there are a lot of membership plugins, & many will do what you want. S2member, UltimateMember, & Simple Membership plugin are all well-known & either of these will likely help you accomplish your goals. Assuredly there are others as well. I personally have used all 3. Each have filled a specific need.

    Many of these plugins have very nice tutorials, often videos if you like that sort of thing, on how to set them up.

    Most of these plugs separate admins from regular membership, but individual settings in most of them can be tweaked if required.

    We’re not at liberty on these forums to endorse a particular product, & we shouldn’t, because we really don’t know if it meets your specific needs. 1 thing many professional web developers do is to develop locally on our computers or on a staging site so we can install various plugins & see what their capabilities are, as well as how intuitive they feel to us, which obviously varies a great deal from person to person.

    Feel free to ask specific questions here if you wish, as I suspect this reply wasn’t entirely helpful.

    Thank you so much for making the time and effort to post such a helpful reply.

    I do have a test site available and am in the process of installing the plugins to see which ones look and feel right.

    I’ll look to choose one and then post back if any specific questions on it, or open a new thread.

    Thanks again ??
