For my member site (which is an association)
1. Select membership type
2. Pay for membership type
3. Register (First Name, Last Name, Email only from eMember)
4. Create Your Personal Profile – which contains First Name, Last Name, EMail, and lots of other fields like a bio, publications, etc. Chose which data is public on your profile. Choose when to make your profile public. I have a form that does this perfectly outside of eMember. The form also creates a post based on their profile; then they can edit and update the post. Needless to say I dont want to change this at all.
From a member management perspective. I simply need eMember to handle logins, payments, and security. Once the person has paid they can have access to pages based on member level.
First: I would prefer that during payment as a site member (I have PayPalPro and wp-Cart) that they could enter basic registration data that could be leveraged in their Custom Profile Page (first name, last name, and email). Does eMember leverage the wp_user and wp_usermeta tables?
Next: If a user needs to change their last name or email address will they have to do it in the Custom Edit Profile form (which populates the wp_user table in the database); and again in the registration form for eMember?
I see the eMember creates its own tables and fields for members; does it leverage the wp_user tables at all. I would prefer to be able to use a single profile form that can write to the appropriate tables.
Note: I am using FormidablePro for form development. It is an amazing system.
Yes, eMember can utilize the WP User data. Please see the following documentation which will answer a few of your questions:
If the user needs to change their details, they can do it by editing their profile in eMember or in the system that you have custom developed.
