Magic Members failing to update some members and their credit card charged by eWay. When they can not login they try to renew the account and Magic Members billing them for the second time. Magic Members tech support pretending to be trying to resolve this. But after three months we still have customers calling in and their accounts Magic Members failed to update their accunts while eWay billed their credit cards. I do not recommend Magic Members for paid services. We are using Magic Members with eWay payment gateway for 3 months.

Since upgrading to the new plug-in, user can't upgrade their FREE accounts to paid accounts. Also, users are never e-mailed their account info, and subscriptions which expire cannot be renewed or extended! I'm stuck. :( Time for someone to write a better solution!

I’m stuck. :(

I was of course to late to discover this review as I stumbled upon the same problem. I bought Magic Members two days ago and it seemed to work ok. I am lucky that I have not opened the site publicly yet, because when I tested out how the registering was working I also found out you can not log in afterwards. I also found out that you had to set the account to 'active' manually. I have been waiting for support for a day now..... The site I make it for is a non-profit organisation and actually don't need any payment checkouts. I bought just for the custom registering forms and inegration with mailproviders like for instance Mailchimp and Aweber. Anyone know of a alternavtive? Because I understand I can get my money back withing 30 days. Dennis Hi!

I'd have to agree, however, I'm very happy with wordpress as a CMS. We have been using different CMS systems, I made this decission on my own and believe me, I did considered other options. Things are changing fast in this business as you I'm sure'd agree. Trying to stay in the game is one thing, being ahead is another. We're not huge, but for ONE model websites and NON NUDE, I think, we've kicked some major beep. Wordpress gives me all I need and much more. Yes, of course, no system is perfect, some may come close. However, having companies out there claiming their product works etc., that is what we should somehow eliminate. The bull out there. People writing few lines of code and call it a plug-in. :) Oh, and having the gust to advertise it. James, thanks for the comment. I’d have to agree, however, I’m very happy with wordpress as a CMS.

I am blown away you'd take a chance using wordpress as your CMS. With all due respect, this is a rookie error, you're putting a lot at risk here. Wordpress is not stable enough to handle multiple mysql pulls when it comes into photos/video. Not remotely close if you plan to have more then 50 members anyway. If you need help getting set up, hit me up. Also, where's your affiliate program? thx I am also a photographer and adult webmaster… 14 years in the game now.

I would love to hear from more users before i go and pay for this plug in. Its a new plugin and prob has not been tested taking into consideration all the other plugins that will be running next to it. They are prob expecting that you are running this plugin with the most basic wordpress website. Thank you for your review. I would love to hear from more users before i go and pay for this plug in.

It's been only a couple of days, since the update, I'm not sure if all is fixed. Looks like the email problem is resolved. Contacted them again, they responded with a link to an update.

In our business we know, how hard it is to keep customer. We need a seamless solution, not a headache for them. Sure, I hate for someone to go through it.
