Using WordPress as a paysite.
 

Experiences? Thoughts?

What plugins do I need?

Thanks in advance!

Did you do a search on here? there is a lot of past posts on this topic.

I worked with one before, but I forgot which site it was..
Very easy to manage.

unless you're going to go with a ghetto site OR you have a very good comprehension of WP coding, I doubt you'll be able to do it only with plugins

anyway, if you are going that route, to the very least you need Magic Members which is a must have for any WP paysite. From there, depends on you, but as an example our WP paysites can work with no more than 3 or 4 plugins, the real deal is in the code and how you manage it :2 cents:

I made one a few months back, i used the following plugins ...

Akismet
Comments Cleaner
Nextgen Gallery
Similar Posts
User Avatar
Word Tube
WP Ads
And a plugin i had made especially that works a bit like Oldest To Newest but with better features that enables me to leave the site auto-updating.

It all works rather well, i'm quite please with the way the site turned out :)
