    I have wordpress installed for my membership site. . all was going well
    (I was using a trial version of aMember). My trial recentley expired, I purchased the PRO version, with the incremental content, SMF and wordpress plugin. . . <- btw I never remember even using the wordpress plugin before.

    Now, I go to my site. After logging in I can access my basic wordpress homepage, but if I click a post, category, page, etc. . it takes me to a 404 error.

    Help please!

    Hey Anthony,

    I think you need someone to look into your setup. If your site is new, you might want to do a clean reinstall.

    The problem was in the .htaccess file and permalink structure.
    When I used "default" permalinks in wordpress it worked fine, however I use a custom permalink structure.

    .htaccess file had amember preferences loading before wordpress. I copied all of the wordpress stuff and put that first in the .htaccess file and it works fine now.

    Do I NEED the wordpress plugin if I'm not planning on using the sidebar, hidepost, etc.

    Couldn't I just install wordpress into a directory? (like I have it in /members/)
    and have aMember protect that directory? (like I have /members protected)

    and as a part of buying my product, they get access to /members/ and everything in /members/ like videos, forums, etc. . .

    If so, then what is the point of using the wordpress plugin? Besides allowing you to use hidepost and Membership academy sidebar plugin. . .those are cool, but I don't NEED them. so any other reason i would need the wordpress plugin?

    not using comments either- then no, not needed.

    Yep, this makes it into a "walled garden".

    This is a different model, "Magazine Model" where you allow teaser text, people can view some of the content but not all.

    It also users to comment using their username, and lets you have more than a single paid level.
