I am helping out a friend and rebuilding her dance business site.
Requirements:
- site owner friendly CMS for updates
- Prefer a free cms
- main site and a few pages will be for new/potential clients
- members only section where she can post updates instead of having to email a news letter.
- an additional page or 2 exclusive to members where videos can be posted for at home practice
I am thinking wordpress may be a great option for this. Any tutorials out there to help with the initial build of a member only section? I want to make sure I lock down the member section properly.
I am hoping to also generate an email each time a post is made in the members only section. Also use categories in the members only section to generate emails to members with corresponding tags that an update was made.
Is this attainable?
I am open to other CMS platforms but they must be responsive, free, and easy for the site owner to update.
Go for wordpress. As you are a starter use subscription / membership plugin to manage the member setting that you desire, and for email you can use newsletter plugins (both free adn paid) . Hope this helps :)
And for the final question : no wordpress is the easiest one out there

I have a news website belongs to old school, and I am receiving articles/opinions through email, and I manage adding theme my self.
I am planning now to switch to Wordpress and until I can enable all writers to post their articles by giving them "Contributor" role, is there any Wordpress plugin that enable Admin/Author to post an article in behalf of any "Contributor" user?
Thanks
Your editors don't need a plugin for this. On the admin page in which you edit posts (or pages) near the bottom there's a dropdown list from which your editor can select the post's author. The selected author shows up as the post's author on the front end.
Your contributors will be able to write and edit their own posts. But, only an editor or administrator can publish them: make them visible on the front end.
That's handy: it lets you have contributors you don't trust completely. Editors vet their work before it shows up on the site.
But, if your editors aren't diligent, your contributors will never see their work published. On a volunteer site (such as your application) they'll become discouraged and stop writing stuff.
You may want to err on the side of letting people publish stuff, then removing it if you don't like it, or if it's spam, or whatever. To do that you make people "editors" rather than contributors.
Yes , learn here about the editor role , you can create as many as editors from wp-admin panel and editors can create and modify the posts via their provided login or their created login.
Editor capabilities : https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Editor
You can also manage their capabilities by using : User Role Editor plugin
I don't know of any such plugins but if the number of articles posted by contributors are less than you can simply write that article and publish it. Once publish you can than change the author to any contributor from the list on the posts page.
I´m currently developing the Intranet for the company I am working for. The site is currently based on SharePoint, but I have to migrate it to Wordpress. And that´s my first developer experience with Wordpress, you just should know. Creating the theme, content and working with the WP Admin area works very well, but where I´m feeling defenseless is the permissions topic.
Generally, the whole page content is managed by the Marketing department. So, for me it is ok that they have access to WP Admin and I would use one of the predefined roles available.
But there will be also an area for the departments where specified users per department should be able to
edit the pre created page content
add subpages and edit its content (it would be nice if it can be defined which page templates can be selected by the user)
add posts for a pre created category (that should not be changeable by the user)
edit its profile and password
A whole access to WP Admin should be therefore prevented.
I read much information about roles, capabilities and reviewed forums and blogs presenting potential plugins. But to be honest, I´ve lost the overview and I´m totally scared about what´s the right way to do such like this the professional way.
Is there anybody who was already in such a situation or knows a good resource where to read more?
Thanks a lot.

PressPermit is the tool I choosed. It covers all needs described in my question.
Note: To use all features, you need to buy a support subscription currently available for $55 a year for one site.
However, a very powerful tool and in comparison to Advanced Access Manager I tried before, it really supports permissions also for multiple roles.
If you are thinking about, use the screencasts to see if the tool cover your needs. Unfortunately, there is no trial available, but you can request an evolution wordpress installation which was setup within one day in my case. This service costs $5.
I am going to make a website which there is 3 type of users.
Admin
- can CRUD posts
Teacher
- can CRUD own posts in their's own pages.
Student
- can Read posts, comment, ...
I know how to do this in PHP, but I need to implement this website with Wordpress OR Joomla.
Can Wordpress/Joomla provide my needs or I have to install extra plugins.
If I need plugins, would you please tell me plugin's names.
You could do that with Joomla default features.
Super Administrator would have full access to administrator panel and all articles.
Then you have to create Authors that could have access to their own articles (this is the full list of privileges in Joomla).
As for students you have to find a comments extension.
Good Luck!
I'm looking to create a membership-basee website and I'm new to Wordpress so its been a headache trying to look for free plugins that can
creates 3 levels of membership (non-members, members, and premium members)
limit access to certain pages/functionality of the site to members/premium members
Also can't find a good plugin for customizable registration form
Take a look at Paid Memberships Pro, which is 100% open source, and available in the WordPress repository:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/paid-memberships-pro/
Here is some code to use hooks in the plugin to add fields to checkout page. It takes a bit of php skill and programming:

Good luck.
If you are trying to create a membership website with WordPress, the memberpress plugin is what you should know about. It allows you to restrict certain areas and even add membership tiers for your WordPress website. it is one of the best plugins available for membership websites, you can check out the memberpress website from this link

I have a website that I want to setup so that users can register for the site but the administrator of the site will have the final say on whether or not they can be a member of the site or not.
I am running Wordpress 3.0.1 and Buddypress 1.2.5, buddypress is used to register the user, so I assume it will need to be a buddypress plugin that is used to allow or deny the user. I have searched and searched and cannot come up with any plugin that replicates this functionality. Are there any out there, or anything that gives a similar experience?
Many Thanks To Anyone That Helps,

Here is a BP component for Allow / Deny User:
http://webdevstudios.com/support/wordpress-plugins/buddypress-registration-options/
The description:
A WordPress BuddyPress plugin that allows for new member moderation, if moderation is turned on from the admin settings page, any new members will be blocked from interacting with any buddypress elements (except editing their own profile and uploading their avatar) and will not be listed in any directory until an administrator approves or denies their account.
I have just completed a thorough research exercise on this, with the same requirement in mind. The sad truth of the matter is that most of the plugins that supposedly give you this functionality do not work fully and properly. I tried a number of plugins including:
Buddypress Registration Options
Absolute Privacy
Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin
BuddyPress Private Community
All of these failed to give me bulletproof security. They largely seemed to block standard WordPress pages, but didn't block public access to the Activity, Members, Groups and other sections. Other issues were simply getting it to work with WP 3.0.1. I found I had to dig into the plugin code and hack it to get a decent result.
Finally, I settled on a plugin called "registered-users-only-2". This totally blocks users who are not registered. However, it doesn't give you moderation functionality.
I hope this helps your quest.
