Register-plus is a very useful plugin.  However Dieter Eerens, and I have discovered a situation where it does not play nicely with my  user lists plugin.  (Well it also highlighted a bug in my plugin for users on php <5.3, so make sure you have plugin version 2.1 which gets around this!) What it does… [...]

Configurable User Reporting for large membership sites.

Request for requirements for a search / filter function for member, subscriber, user lists

A plugin that digs deep into the user meta data to allow you to configure almost any user list you would like.

If one is using a number of plugins to manage a membership site, one may find that one needs more customisable user lists than the pugins offer.The following plugins offer some kind of user directory.  Not quite what I am looking for though.   Will investigate further – may have to develop own….. Reasonably well documented: [...]

To personalise or not? What is personalisation really? How can one personalise in a wordpress system.

A record or informal guide of the installation process of the Your Members wordpress membership plugin.

Downloaded the free version of Memberwing. Has a single configuration page with underwhelming styling. Content protection markers are configurable, so one could make this a bit more intuitive for the end user /site owner Forgot to logoff before testing (duh), but other than that it “worked”.

There are a number of plugins out there that help with importing users to wordpress. The ones I found would email the users – probably because they are adding through wordpress, thereby triggering the registration and/or activation process. We were also using Your members and the Subscribe2 plugin, so I needed to see how they [...]

Home – statistics and news Members and subscriptions Member management – paged list of members, can filter and sort.  Would be more intuitive if sorting was achieved by links on column headings, rather than a reload. can do bulk updates of selected users.
