I'm adding what is effectively a membership database to a WordPress site, there are a couple of special requirements:-
The grandaddy of membership systems is the CiviCRM plugin for WordPress. CiviMember will do different membership classes and payments and the concept of contacts already has different types for individuals and organisations (and households too).
I'm going to be installing this on another site soon. I may try to vary the fields for different contact classes but I doubt I'll need any more than the default, so you'd probably better check it can do what's needed... I'm not sure I understand all of the reasons for those requirements.
Hope that informs,
Thank you! I just needed some pointers to well recommende/popular plugins, you've given me one.
It sounds as if CiviCRM should do what we need, our requirements are pretty simple.
Looking at CiviCRM it looks rather heavyweight for what we want. Is the WordPress plugin just an interface to a CiviCRM installation or is it a standalone application? The plugin isn't on the WordPress site, and the CiviCRM site is taking infinitely long to tell me anything more at the moment.
