Switching To The Your Members Plugin

After spending several weeks trying to get the Wishlist Member plugin to work on my blog with the functions I need, I finally gave up. The main problem is that the source code is encrypted and cannot be traced or changed at all. The software has many features, but no combination of them could really meet my needs.

I have now switched to the Your Members plugin, for only $50. It works great in conjunction with the native WordPress code, and is not encrypted. I was able to modify a few of the Your Members and WordPress programs to do exactly what wanted. With a bit more fine tuning and testing, I should be able to install the member registration and login, as well as the Simple Press Forum, this coming week.

Several of you have previously used WordPress to register here at Chip Flip Jump. I’ll be deleting all the current users when I activate the Your Members plugin, in order to start fresh. I’ll also be sending an email to all you current users to let you know you can then register FREE again.

New Comments And Contact Forms

In order to stop the 10 to 20 huge spam comments I was getting each day, I changed the blog Comments form, using the very cool Cforms plugin, to include a new Captcha element. It now works great, no more spam since I installed it. I also created a new and improved Contact form using Cforms.

After a lot of testing I finally installed two of the new Membership pages a few days ago, only to find out that you’re not allowed to have an offline test site as well the live online site, using the $97 Wishlist Member plugin. Once you activate the live online site, you can no longer test offline. Very counter-productive!!! Therefore, I had to take down the new pages until I’ve tested ALL the levels of membership. Stay tuned, I’m also looking at other membership plugins.
