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 

lol. cool.  thanks for the update.

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 – 

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

what version did you upgrade from?

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…

Can you setup WishList so you could have 2 directories of your site?

Example:

Landing Page http://internetmarketing.com

Members site: http://internetmarketing.com/members 

not sure I understand your question… understand the concept of landing page and membership site… but isnt what you called just a regular website page?

but yes, you can have a members only section of your site controlled by wishlist member… and the forum can be in the members only section or outside it…

No No No…

I’m saying I have two different themes installed in two different directories of the same domain. 

Basically when you go into your cPanel> Fantastica/Wordpress Install, It will give you the option to install WordPress in a separate directory of your main site. It’s basically like an apartment building with multiple levels. 

The reason I wanted to setup my site this way, is because when you have a home page that acts as a landing page that is met to convince visitors to buy the product. What happens is, you will send hundreds of visitors to your home page when you launch a product and when you have a membership site setup in the same directory as your home page/ landing page, it makes your site run slow for the members and potentially hurts your sales as well.

I just wanted to have the membership site separate from the main site/ sales funnel so visitors wouldn’t get distracted by all the menu tabs and try to click on content they don’t have access to, until after they sign-up. And like I said above, it keeps your sites running smoother this way and you will make more sales because visitors aren’t looking around, they are focusing in on the content on the page, oppose to all the menu items. 

MemberPress does not work well with different directories of the same site. 

Was wondering if WLM did…

I will need to get Steve to answer the WishList questions (if he knows) although you might be best asking the WishList team some of the more complex stuff.

From my own personal view this seems like a real complicated way to solve what sounds like a simple problem and if it is traffic you are primarily worried about then splitting like this will make no difference really – the server will still be hit by the same number of requests.

wishlist can work across domains (2 sites) but not directly.. they have an api that you can use and code to which is what we have done (mentioned earlier some custom code)…

but I am with Andy…  dont see how your idea helps performance… unless the two domains (directories as you called them) are on different servers… otherwise the same server is banged just as much.. in fact, its probably getting banged harder because you have to installs of wp which will be increased overhead…
