I tried using a few free plugins, but I kept having problems. Its not that I am not technically savvy, I know a lot about networking and software, I just do not know anything about php. And this was my problem. Whenever the plugin I was using developed a problem I had to rely on the person or people who released it to help. As it was a free plugin that left me with users ready to signup, no working membership site and waiting for free support for a free plugin.

I looked everywhere for a wordpress membership plugin that would take subscriptions via paypal and would allow me to charge on a subscription basis for each access level I wanted to set up. Eventually I have up and bought one. It was only €19.99 for a whole year and that included support. It is called wp-member and I have found it really easy and straight forward to use. I contacted their support when I had a quick question and found that they have online support! I can not shout about this membership / payment plugin enough.

Stephen,
Many thanks for this, I have spent the whole day sorting out this keyboard lock issue. This has saved me.

Comment on Migrate An Existing Content Site To WordPress Using 301 Redirects and .htaccess by Stephen

Oh... I forgot to add that I did talk about this briefly in the previous post, where I took an old html site and converted it to WordPress. And now... checking Google some 10 weeks later for site:theinternetcynic.com to see if any html pages still show... and the answer is NO! They've updated the lot, and I even have more pages listed than before! Stephen

Hi John

You’d actually need this plugin from coffee2code to do that:

that’s great, but how do u change the sidebar to random posts titles? who cares if the sidebar dislays the first few posts titles, there’re already displayed anyway.

Thanks for the tip on the WP-Print plugin. I’ve just installed it and like the print page it generates. I was surprised that it footnotes the links in the page, an excellent feature.

Comment on Simple WordPress Ads Plugin by Net Marketing Toolbox

And another idea I just had…

If you really want to use a program to track your ads and clicks, then you could find a good CGI based one and set that up – e.g. the one I use is an oldie but a goodie – WebAdverts

Coming from a perl/cgi background, I find this php stuff a little complicated at times, and have a heap of stuff which I know already works, so I want to re-use it here if possible.

And I can – just by including it on a “normal” html page, inside an i-frame.

Where ever you want your ads to appear, then include the cgi ad banner code on another html page and call it from inside an I-Frame, or you could even use javascript if that’s available.

Use the WP Ads option as a backup if people can’t use iframes or have javascript turned off in their browser!
