Can i ask a non-SL (webmaster type) query here?

[Zed Avedon]

 

I know SL users are a very clever bunch.. im hoping one of you can point me in the right direction!

Im trying to build a subscription website.

 

I need the simplest type of button (from a static wordpress landing page) ..

'Sign Up' >> user handle/email/password/payment info >> into members area.

Simple right? But it seems every plugin needs the Wordpress login first, and then offers so many payment levels etc etc...

I would prefer to not need the Wordpress top toolbar at all .. just a standalone simple 'signup+pay' button.

 

Am i crazy? .. i cant find any plugin that does this simple 'paid up member login with username/password' thing.

Am i using the wrong search keywords on YouTube? (i tried leaving out the term 'wordpress')

 

Moderators .. if this thread is 'not ok', could it simply be locked, allowing users to im me inworld?

I dont mean to upset anyone! .. Best answer gets something really cool from my SL store!

Thanks for any help! -Zed

It is quite common to write your own wordpress plugins.

All i can do here is point to: https://www.w3schools.com/ and hope this "shotgun approach" might aid you.
Apologies if it does not.

"webmaster" lol that is so 1999!

idk what the new word would be!

But i have a possible new direction .. using youtube keywords:  shortform, form with payment,  .. these may end up getting me where i need to go.. it will take a week to try and see (!)

If you're using the free version of Wordpress, it doesn't allow commercial activity. 

Not assuming, just that popped into my head.

from where im at i dont think thats true. Wordpress and a billion pluginsa are free including woocommerce. To have wider functionality they hold back a few things to encourage some small payment .. but its all free or roughly free once you have hosting which is also quite cheap if on a shared plan.

But im only 6mo into this stuff .. theres a lot i dont know :)

Wordpress commercial, Woocommerce on bluehost but I pay.
Thats my RL e-commerce setup.

Very affordable and an awesome fiddling around experience
