Hi shields, Are you looking at Wordpress-style templates? If yes, you might want to give me an email codeispoetry [at] amemberincremental.com Lee
Hi Lee, Can you please explain what's "Walled Garden with Pretty Permalinks". Looked at your website but I still cannot understand what it is. Sorry. Any screenshot examples of how it'll look like? Thanks. Francis
hmm, no. wordpress templates that work with amember, however, that's a different story - almost any wordpress template can be integrated into amember
Hi jodarl, "Walled Garden" is a concept where the wordpress setup is completely protected - that means your members need to login before they can see the content in Wordpress. The case with "Walled Garden" is, you are unable to have pretty permalinks (e.g. www.yoursite.com/category/descriptive-title). That means, you will end up with the default links (i.e. www.yoursite.com/?p=12345). If you would like to have the best of both worlds, Walled Garden + pretty permalinks, then the solution is the Walled Garden plugin I have on my website. Hope that helps Lee
really? how are you unable to have pretty permalinks? I just remember installing a wordpress under amember folder for amember users only and there was no problem with pretty permalinks at all... but then again, I guess it depends how and where you install wordpress inside amember, right?
Hi miso, In WP's case, as long as you have pretty permalinks activated, you can't use aMember to protect the WP folder, and therefore can't have pretty permalinks for the WP setup. Lee
right, because the .htaccess files would clash/overwrite... might even get corrupted with all the overwriting. but, what if you install wordpress and amember in the same folder? because wordpress files/folders all have "wp-" prefix and would not clash with amember files/folders, except for index.php... and what I've done in the past is remove the amember's index.php in favor of wordpress one (which is required for pretty permalinks anyway)... And then from there on, you drop in a wp plugin for amember, get that members-only plugin for wordpress, and voila - wordpress cannot be accessed without being logged in, and all logins/registration is done through amember
I wouldnt do this, would get very messy in there! It would only become a walled garden after you place the folder protection in the wordpress directory- which would now be amember too- so you would be caught in a cant login loop. David
I agree with David on this - I wouldn't want to put WP and aMember in the same folder. It may not have clashes today but we wouldn't know what happens in future upgrades (files may have the same name?) or if additional features/plugins are installed. This also applies to other software too, like Joomla vs aMember, or some other software. Lee
