Some of the topics include: what forum plugin to use, how to protect the forum, having members pay by installments, integration with 1shoppingcart, using ip address protection to avoid username/password sharing, URL redirection, Flexi pages widget (I use this in the right sidebar for page links), Widget Logic (show widgets depending on user logged in, etc), TS Custom Widgets, WP Polls, Comment Length Limiter, Audit Trail (see where members are going – this is a big one I am going to try), Download monitor (also cool for seeing what people are downloading).

Note that if you integrate with 1ShoppingCart (1SC) at this time, you can’t use paypal for subscription payments, because 1SC doesn’t support paypal for subscription payments. So I use PayPal directly without 1SC.

So check out part 2 of the interview with Chris Garrett about membership sites.
