    Hello,

    I'm sorry to ask this dumb question but someone here could explain to me what exactly the wordpress plugins do ?

    The developpement of my Blog/Site will start probably next week but like all of people here I will prefer to use the last version of 2.5 of wordpress, but the plugins doesn't work with it.
    So maybe I can ask to the studio who will build my site to find a solution...but before I need to understand the functionnalities of this wordpress plugins.

    Thanks to you
    Regards
    Benjamin

    I cant speak for 2.5, but prior versions acted as follows:
    User signs up with amember, user info added to amember and wordpress.
    User logs into amember, also logs into wordpress.
    Profile changes in amember, also changes in wordpress.
    Logout via amember, also logged out in wordpress.

    I'm currently setting up a membership site that's run by wordpress. Though, I don't see the need to clients to log into wordpress. Is it possible to protect standard wordpress 'pages' with amember?

    This is what I call a "Walled Garden". You stick the whole wordpress directory behind an amember protected directory.

    Im also very keen to here the asnwer tot his, I put in a support ticket asking if there was support for WP 2.5, and If I could get an install service, but am yet to receive a reply.

    David I saw your site, it's a shame thats been done with wp2.3 ... have you tried to upgrade to wp2.5 just to see what happens?

    I'll be upgrading to 2.5 this weekend.
    From what Alex has told me, the amember plugin works with 2.5, so a "Walled Garden" model should work fine.

    For multiple levels and teaser content "Magazine Model", I will have to test to see if the wordpress plugins that control that still work.

    Will let you know.

    Hi David said that if "profile changes in amember, also changes in wordpress"
    Does this mean that a person who subscribed for a month and doesn't continue
    will not be able to login to the amember area but......

    I use the magazine approach with teaser etc and lock the content using a pluigin.
    Therefore if the member doesn't continue being a subscriber will this member still
    have access to login to wordpress.
    Or does the integration plugin remove/deactivate this member from wordpress automatically.

    Thanks.

    Johan

    The user will not be logged into wordpress if their membership expires. Their role is removed upon expiration.
    Unfortunately the plugin does not currently provide for a default role.
