Terrific Theme Tips For Your Membership Site

When creating your membership site on WordPress you want the ability to stand out from other sites

. One way of doing this is selecting the right theme for you and lucky enough, you have millions of different themes available that can be used to customize your site.

Themes provide a 'mask' or 'covering' to change the look and presentation of your site. If you want a three-column site with heavy use of red and green, and space for a large animated header, then there's certainly a theme out there for you. You just have to find it!

Selecting a theme is as easy as going to one of the following sites and taking the time to find the theme that best suits your needs. Of course, these are just a few examples as there are MANY WordPress theme providers. However, this should get you started on your search: http://www.ElegantThemes.com http://www.WooThemes.com http://www.iThemes.com http://tinyurl.com/freewpthemes http://welovewp.com/

Once you find a theme you like, simply obtain and upload it with the Theme Uploader to your WordPress site. http://screencast.com/t/OGM2MGJjZDct Once the theme is uploaded, click the 'Themes' option you will notice to the left and you'll then see a list of thumbnails which can be selected. Locate the theme of your choice and then either click 'Activate' to choose the new theme, or 'Preview' to see how it looks before you make it live. http://screencast.com/t/OWZkODQzMDA

Why would you go though all this trouble, just to change the look of your site? It's all about appearances. A good theme can give you extra options (such as a post of the day option), or match your blog's look to your brand identity and colors. However it really comes down to elegance and professionalism.

A large number of visitors already know the default themes for Wordpress. If you can't or won't upgrade your site, what will the message be to your customers? "The look is out of date. Could the content be as well?"

There's always a chance you might like the default theme but there's certainly nicer ones out there. Nicer ones that'll entice members to sign up to your site.

If you are using the WishList Member PlugIn for your membership site, keep in mind is that while the WishList Member PlugIn and WordPress themes typically do work together well, it's impossible to provide 100% compatibility with the millions of themes available. It's rare to find a theme that does not work with WishList Member, but it does happen on occasion. If you install a new theme and find that you have new errors appearing within your site, it's probably due to an incompatible theme. A quick way to find this out is to deactivate the new theme and activate the default WordPress theme. http://screencast.com/t/NDMzNDRlNjg If the error no longer appears with the default WordPress theme applied, then this suggests an issue with the previously installed theme.

You will need to either select another theme or customize (yourself or hire a programmer) the theme's code if you really want to use that particular theme. If needed, we can provide a list of WishList Member Certified Developers to assist with this.

With these tips, you should be able to find a theme that gives your site the look and feel you've been searching for, as well as avoid any potential issues.
