Q. Do you want members to register and login onto the website? If yes, let us know more about the access rights of the members? What all functions they can perform in addition to what a normal website visitor does?
A. No, No membership sign in to the website. It is just a standard WordPress website.
Q. What is the process behind event registration? How are members registered for events? Is it something via registered member ID (which is unique to each member)? Please elaborate.
A. Events are pretty straightforward. We ask for their name and a few additional details in the event listing and when that information comes in – we send them a PayPal invoice. There would be nothing the website person would have to do regarding coordinating event registration.
