    Up until this point, I have been using Joomla's wrapper to display aMember pages on my Joomla site. This works ok, since users see my Joomla template around the aMember pages--it has a certain level of visual uniformity.

    But due to many problems with the wrapper (mainly related to when aMember forwards to PayPal) I am forced to look at other options.

    For those of you who are using Joomla and aMember, how are you retaining the "look and feel" of your site as well as 100% workability with aMember? I am curious to know.

    Thanks!

    Do a view source from a joomla article page- copy and paste the header and footer areas into the amember header.html and footer.html files.

    Thanks for this! Seems that this gets the job done for the proper font and styling issues, which is definitely a step in the right direction. Now, how to get the template frames generated by Joomla (navigational structure, etc.) on the aMember pages?

    Are you talking about static sidebar type content? If so it should be the same way (view source, remove center (or content) div)

    If you are looking to replication functional (on the fly menu generation with effects ,etc. this will be a bit more complicated unless you can iframe somehow.
