I have a client who is insisting they want to run their future paysite on Wordpress because they know Wordpress. Anyone doing that and if so is there any special software needed?
if your client knows wordepress, then idont see any problem.,
but wordpress is vast and bloated for customized sites, there are plugins which can turn your site into membership site for digital content.
A WordPress paysites is very doable. Why pay $650 for a bland CMS with little to no support? Or inquire about a CMS 10 times with no reply, when you can buy a template for $10-$100 that looks good and do minor tweaking for free, and make it a pretty nice site?
Many of my customers are doing that. One advice though : Do not use any members area plugin, they restrain you too much. Use 1 WP installation for the tour and 1 WP installation for the members area.

I was about to say the same thing. Have one install for the tour, and another one for the members area.. that's the easiest solution.

Having 2 WordPress installs is as crazy as using a members area plugin, way too much overhead and double the work.

no, he's right. Two installs is the way to go. I did that with a site and it worked perfectly. Keeping the tour and members area separate should be the only way to go if using wordpress for a paysite.

Just use one WordPress install and a canonical url plugin to protect posts with members directory in the URL.
Categorize all members posts as "members".
Make a members page with the protected directory in the canonical url you specify and only show members category posts on that page.
Easy! My setup for 4 years now

This is what I was thinking.
This is for a new small client who cannot learn a more complicated content management system; They know Wordpress and love it. Two installs of Wordpress is easy enough, the tour just a single post to show off a photo or video of a new update, and then in the members area make a post with a photo gallery - similar to what YNOT Shoot Me uses.

Agree, one install is enough to do everything.
Having a paysite in WordPress needs knowledge to develop plugin to handle photos and videos and restrict member's area access

I've built a few sites using wordpress for others, mainstream though. Personally only using wordpress for 400+ domain for sale pages on 1 installation. Bloated but since I have my own servers can handle the bloat. Also a target for hackers so I use Incapsula to kill off some bad bot traffic at the DNS level before it hits my servers along with using a security plugin. So wordpress requires good hosting, security tweaks and keeping core/plugins updated.
