]]> Comment on Using WordPress As A Membership Site by iamme http://stephenspry.id.au/2008/04/01/using-wordpress-as-a-membership-site/#comment-69 iamme Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:09:14 +0000 http://stephenspry.id.au/2008/04/01/using-wordpress-as-a-membership-site/#comment-69 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.

I forgot to add that I did talk about this briefly <a href="http://stephenspry.id.au/2008/01/01/my-first-ny-resolution-done/" rel="nofollow">in the previous post</a>, where I took an old html site and converted it to WordPress. And now... checking Google some 10 weeks later for <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Atheinternetcynic.com&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">site:theinternetcynic.com</a> 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!

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. Thanks for the tip on the WP-Print plugin.

]]> Comment on Simple Wordpress Ads Plugin by Net Marketing Toolbox http://stephenspry.id.au/2007/11/11/simple-wordpress-ads-plugin/#comment-39 Net Marketing Toolbox Fri, 23 Nov 2007 23:58:54 +0000 http://stephenspry.id.au/2007/11/11/simple-wordpress-ads-plugin/#comment-39 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 - <a href="http://awsd.com/scripts/webadverts/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">WebAdverts</a> 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! Sorry - I can't think of a simpler way of describing it...
