    Hey there, I helped build a WordPress Site for a client as a business and event directory using all the Geo Directory Plugins. We have started getting new members but so far all unpaid.

    We have the forum and groups plugin also activated for members (although no activity yet)

    My client has come up with a new business model and whats a full membership site where he can host hidden content, drip feed courses etc and other resources. Some of these members may be different than the directory members depending on their needs BUT will all be in the same niche (industry)

    I think installing a membership plugin would be a conflict and also confusing or impossible with two logins. But at this stage he doesn’t want to have to manage two big websites.

    Can somebody experienced please advise if its possible to create this type of membership site within an existing Geo Directory site or is this a completely different business model all together.

    Other option I was thinking is having the backend login to a membership site hosted on another wordpress site just linked off the menu bar on the directory, but still really two websites at the end of the day.

    I’d appreciate any other solutions.

    If it is possible we would need some help integrating this. I look forward to hearing from you thanks Lisa 🙂

    A membership plugin controls user registration and access to pages and posts etc.
    GD controls listings added by users.
    So installing a membership plugin will have no effect on GD listings.

    Thanks

    @Glenn
    GD does not care how your users register, WP has only one way of user registration, and that can be done with heaps of different ways. If you use another registration plugin like buddypress or a membership plugin, then you should not use the GD registration system. The GD registration system is only for sites that do not use their own.
    Thanks.

    @lisa do you have advanced knowledge of GD? I’m looking for someone to customize it for my site.

    @jeremy Depends how advanced I guess. I have built a business directory site for my client and familiar with the GD plugins and addons. If you like shoot me an email at lisa@tradiesvirtualassistant.com.au and we can talk about your needs. Thanks 🙂
