Hello,

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but I can't figure out how to install the newest version.

This is a fresh install to my new site...

Screen shots of the file I tried to upload to the Plugins>Add New panel in my admin dashboard.

I read through the installations instructions and I still can't figure it out.

The zip files inside of simple-press.zip do not need to be installed individually.

You upload simple-press.zip then when activated and installed it will unzip the needed files inside.

I think Safari unpacked the package for me and it threw me through a loop. 

I switched from chrome about a month ago lol

And even in my finder I still couldn't find a .zip file for the plugin...

I opened up my chrome and grabbed the .zip again and it was actually a .zip! 

Thanks

Oh, one more thing,

Since I'm installing a new SP version on a new site, do you guys recommend any new themes or features I should get uploaded right away to enjoy all the features? :)  

Im using MemberPress with this forum and i'm told by the developers of MemberPress that your plugin is fully integrated. 

My stie: http://internetmarketing-mentorship.com

Still trying to buy this domain from the owner: http://internetmarketingmentorship.com 

Really would love to get rid of that awful - eek

I believe we have heard good results with member press... any membership plugin that follows wp standards and api should work...

Thins is a new installation...

I'm thrilled to here that MemberPress is compatible with SP.

I was considering using WishList but I wasn't sure if that would be such a good idea because it's so feature rich that I'm sure it would have a lot of problem. So I went with a simpler option that I assumed would be more reliable. 

Whats your experience using WishList with SP Forum? 

One feature I really liked about WLM is that you could integrate with Clickbank, and for me that would be a perfect platform to launch a product like mine.

We use wishlist here and its worked pretty well for us. We did have to right some custom code to get it working exactly the way we want... The biggest beef I have with wishlist is it doesnt handle membership renewals very well. we often have to manually set those up...

as to features, visit our features page... it has a list of available plugins and what they would add to your site...

Ok...

Well I obviously don't want to attempt to write any code, that would turn out very badly lol

I guess i'll give MemberPress a shot and see what I can do about having my developer integrate Clickbank for me. 

thanks for everything...
