In this presentation I show how you can create a membership site using WooTheme’s WooCommerce plugin. Although there are a number of membership specific plugins around, WooCommerce brings with it a number of benefits.

Other benefits include the number of available extensions, and in particular, payment gateways, which are ideally suited for membership sites. On top of that, if you want to sell products to your members, you automatically have the ability to do so, nice and easily.

inherits the functionality and
styling of another theme (called
the parent theme). Child themes
are the recommended way of
modifying an existing theme.

Almost Always
If you buy a theme from a Theme Shop or even
download a free one from WordPress.org,
you should consider setting up a Child Theme.
14. #wpmelb @maddisondesigns
Creating a Child Theme Stylesheet
Your Child Theme's style.css file should include:
/*
Theme Name: Your Child Theme Name
Theme URI: http://example.com/my-awesome-child-theme
Description: A description for your Child Theme
Author: Your name
Author URI: http://example.com
Template: parent-theme-folder-name
Version: 1.0.0
*/
* The Template line corresponds to the directory name of the Parent Theme.
e.g. If you were using Twenty Sixteen as the Parent Theme, you would
enter ‘twentysixteen' here (without the quotes)
