    Hi,

    I don't know how these plugins for joomla and wordpress work,
    but I want to take payments from users who want to post their
    articles/posts.

    In order to post they first need to register for monthly paid membership,
    and when they pay and register they get access to such user privilegies.

    Can these plugins do that?

    If it is possible with amember plugin I would buy it, either for joomla
    or for wordpress.

    Regards
    Almin

    I think what your talking about is giving the member "author" status. i think it could be done with both joomla and wordpress, but on a subscription basis- not a per article basis.

    I don't need 'per article' payment

    Hi David,

    Thank you for your answer.

    I will describe exactly what my idea is, and I hope you can help me to make it.

    Concept: Visitors can read everything, content is not protected, but in order to post articles paid membership is requiered.

    Say I run a wordpress content based site that is about products/services in niche X.

    Site has many visitors and marketers from niche X are interested to promote
    their businesses by posting articles about their products and services.

    So I need such user level that only allowes users to post and edit their own articles ( maybe 'author' is such level ?, I'm not sure).

    And I need to protect that user level with amember plugin.

    Is this doable and is it easy to do ?

    Could you explain how it could be done ?

    Thanks
    Almin

    Yep, can be done with both joomla and wordpress.
    You need to integrate with amember, and then assign the author level to a product in aMember.
