Hello,
To provide a brief background, I run a golf membership website for a group of courses in the Cleveland area. Our content marketing works really well at drawing visitors to our site, but I feel like people would engage a lot more if there were a few things added to our website:
I would really like to create a login section of the website so that when users do visit the site, they interact more and feel more engaged. That being said, I think that this works best with Facebook or perhaps other social platforms. With our demographic being adults aged 30-65, Facebook is probably the best. So, I would love for visitors to be able to login as a user to our website with their Facebook account or the option of creating an account manually (with an email for username and password), or they could choose to ‘skip for now, maybe later’
Essentially, the ability for these visitors to engage and do so easily is a big thing for us. Also, the ability to capture name/email addresses from these visitors is very valuable.
So, I would like for these users to be able to login using Facebook or a user created account. I would love for this to be presented to them as a pop-up window that they can choose options from. From there, once logged in, users could comment on stories where commenting is enabled and have the option to share the comment on their social page(s).
On top of this, I would love to create a forum/discussion board for our users to curate their own topics (which we’d need to approve). Also, if there was a way to designate a user as a member or general user and have premium content only accessible for members, that would be added great benefit.
So, what I’m asking is:
A) What plugins do I need to complete this and if there are multiple, which works best with Enfold?
B) What type of coding, if any, would need to be done as far as authorizing users and being able to capture their information?
C) Is the floating window on the homepage something the Enfold theme currently supports?Thanks in advance for all of your help, you all always do a fantastic job in helping us out!
Hi!
Thank you for using Enfold.
A) What plugins do I need to complete this and if there are multiple, which works best with Enfold?
A membership plugin is a must if you’re planning to exclude certain parts of the site for premium users. And if you want to have a discussion board or a forum kind of page, you will have to install a plugin called bbPress which is natively configured in the theme. These membership plugins should work with the theme but they will require a good deal of modifications.

If I am not mistaken, WP will handle this automatically but if you need a facebook login, you should hire someone to setup the facebook login script.

I’m not really sure what you meant by this but I think you’re talking about a “popup”. Unfortunately, there’s no options for this by default but I’m sure your developer can handle it if you have one. Your requests are a bit complex and time extensive so we will have to advise you to hire someone, a freelance developer perhaps or forward you to our coding partner, codeable.
