Memberships Wordpress Websites
We are currently working on similar web projects that are restricted to wordpress(by client) and they need extended member functionality.
They have members.
Multi/single page registration process with a lot of profile fields. basic login/logout.
Members should be able to update their profile from fronted page and a dashboard ofc.(user friendly e.g tabs)
In wordpress posts have taxonomies, in our case, members are belonging to certain taxonomies(categories) ,predefined by admins(custom taxonomies).
Member should be able to CRUD custom post types. e.g gallery, reviews, events,posts etc.
Admins should be able to search members based on their meta information.(category,some registration field)
A lot of more such functions/pages even may be member inbox/notifications.
We can do this by extending wordpress default member functionality(roles) , utilizing wordpress custom post types,Wordpress APIs, code out theme or a plugin for one site from scratch.
The problems is we have a lot of projects , whose requirements are one way or the other are same (NOT EXACTLY SAME) .
What should be the best option in our case?
Use some pre built membership solution focusing on wordpress and which can be easily extended through templates or WP hooks , if there is any ? The more we code the more we have to maintain.
or we should develop our own plugin then extend it on per project bases ? Code a theme.
