I’ve also had success with WP-member, but after reading these comments am keen to try some of the other ones mentioned.

Hello!

I’m replying more than a year later, but I just wanted to point out that there are interesting GPL membership plugins for WordPress now, like s2Member and WPMU DEV Membership. I’ve looked hard at the various membership plugins, and I really like WPMU DEV Membership. They even have Membership lite, which is totally free — you can get it from WordPress.org.

Tomorrow (or the day after) I’ll publish the updated content that I’ve been working on. I compare all the available membership plugins and compare them one-to-one for every feature. So, check that out.

Thanks a lot,

I heard of a plugin where in all your blog commenters will be added to your mailing list…you may try that

Hey Mark,

Did you ever find a solution for your event registration with integration to your website? I need something similar (however I will need future event registration possible, but if you have a solution, it’s a start!)

@Brian, your assertion that messages go unanswered is untrue. The HelpDesk for Suma can be accessed by anyone (whether a licensee or evaluator) at helpdesk.sumaplugin.com. All messages are replied to and the average initial response time is less than 2 hours!

Also, as the creator of Suma I have chosen to work with a few clients closely than many clients from a distance. Although that business model doesn’t scale, I do find it rewarding and my clients appreciate the expert involvement. I’ll leave the mass market to other plugins.

I find it interesting that this thread from 2008 is still getting pimped daily via twitter. The good news is the Tim's stood up to his promise made in the first reply and today's Your Members (now v1.7) has matured into a full fledged, professional membership plugin. Tim and Sean will both still argue that it's still "not there", simply because they are perfectionists, there is *always* one more feature to add, or one more improvement to make, but what we now have is something that's been imitated many times over (and a couple of times, directly ripped off), often by people charging significantly more. Sadly, few of them live up to our levels of support or customer interaction.

I have tried in vain to use Suma. It *looks* like a decent product with an impressive feature list, but getting it to work was just too damn difficult.

Essentially there is no user-community around the product, and documentation is thin on the ground – particularly for working examples.

Therefore, the only way to get help is to contact the developer (Brenton Camac) directly. Clearly he is a one-man band and cannot cope, so requests simply go unanswered.

I tried for many months to get the product to work (issues with our PHP installation) and even persevered with customisation, but to no avail. I finally gave up bashing my head against a brick wall and I am in the process of evaluating WishList Member…

Also forgot to add on that you can restrict content by post, page, tag, category and URI.

I never really tried integrating with BuddyPress but will try it out when I start my forum running
