SAME EMAIL USED FOR MEMBERSHIPS

Hello s2

My web developer is going to purchase your single license for my website. My number 1 concern is the email a subscriber uses to register before he makes a subscription purchase.

1. Can a registered subscriber purchase more than one membership with the SAME email address. I will have 10 separate subscriptions and members sometimes want to purchase a NEW or DIFFERENT subscription while they have an ACTIVE subscription going. Can they easily purchase this using the same email address.

2. How does his username and password develop, is it automatic or does he choose one or both or do i do this.

3. If a member asks me to change his password do i have that ability.

4. My present plugin only allows a current subscriber to use his email address ONCE, if he purchases a second membership while his current membership is ACTIVE, his first purchased membership is deleted and i must go into admin and manually create the first subscription as a Free membership to bring it back.

5. Thank You for any help on these questions.

Well… lol

1 & 4. It all depends on how you are going to set up your “memberships”. If you are using member levels, remember that the standard use allows higher levels to access all content of lower levels. So a level 5 person could access level 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 content. You may be able to accomplish this by setting up your memberships as custom capabilities that can be purchased.

Check out this video for more information about selling memberships with custom capabilities:

Wordpress will only let a member create one wordpress account with each email address. However, by selling custom capabilities as memberships then you may be able to accomplish what you want to do.

2. Username is created by the user when he registers and you can decide if you want him to choose a password or have the system auto-generate one.

3. Yes -> go to Users and select the user click edit. You have the option to send it to them as well.

5. Your welcome. lol!

Hope that helps,

Dave

EDIT: There are 3 videos in that link. the second one is the most relevant but you may need to watch all three to get the gist.
