Did anyone figure out a plugin or way to get a paid membership to work? I don’t see any responses to that specific question above. Thanks for any help!

@Petervs – When you say that the “text is off the page” – do you mean that you can still see part of it? It sounds like you have it, but it might just be a CSS issue. Can you post a URL?

I am trying to create a member site for all my users, and i have been following your tutorial closely, but i have fallen off the track somehow
i have created the author.php popped it into my theme dir
but how do i create a members list to call up my authors?
(I have a user and i posted on his behalf)
i used a addon called list-authors-plus to have a widget on the front and i then can see a member and when i then click on him i see the fields generated by the author page (however the text is off the page, and im guessing thats got something to do with the wp-admin user-edit.php)
yourself and John C talk about hacking the user-edit.php, but what do u add where to make it look like your normal theme ?
thanks again for all your help

[...] How to use Wordpress as a Member Directory – This article got me both started and then back on the right track. I tried a couple of things but this was the closest and that which worked best. Again there are a few things – that if I knew php better I would alter and it’s a bit of a pain that it leans on two plugins and there isn’t just something that will do it all for you, but hey there’s some scope for some handy programmer out there.

^ ^ Nevermind about the above issue…i didn’t replace the author for the default ‘hello world’ post and it kept displaying the admin name for that. Thanks for the effort with this framework.

Ah-ha! I’ve got it working now. Sweet. One thing,however, I’m using the following:

wp_list_authors(‘hide_empty=1&show_fullname=1&optioncount=0&exclude_admin=1′);

…however the admin user is still displaying regardless if I switch him off. Was that some custom code you implemented and I just haven’t included the variable in my code base?

@Eric – Create a post, not a page. The only places I mention a template is where you create the author.php template (you can see that in the download) like shown here: http://pghdesigners.com/author/pittsburgh/, and where you create the members.php template for the ‘member list’ like shown here: http://pghdesigners.com/members/
