The best wordpress theme

[Extreme marketing]

I'm getting ready to create a couple of new sites and I'm trying to find out what everyone on this forum recommends for building membership sites or product selling sites for multiple products to offline niches that are easy to set up and also run payments through paypal, and protect the download pages. What are you all using and what works best for you?

If you don't mind add a link to your site or pm it to me. You cam also send me an affiliate link to whatever your recommending also, so you can make some money for your recommendation. Just give me your honest opinion and experience.

Come on everyone, someone on here must have a membership site! Is what are your favorite plugins and themes questions that you shouldn't ask on here or something?

I see a lot of guys using amember now a day. Vita uses it for the USA memberships. Also a while back I did a review for a product, and asked the owner (Craig) what membership software he was using. He replied it was amember and wordpress.

I did a video review here so you can look at what the inside membership area looks like.

Craig also said he was using Amprotect wordpress plugin to restrict access page access to members, and drip feed the content.

I also use AMember with AMProtect and AMail, which integrates WordPress and Aweber. They work very well together.

Nobody using Profits theme here? Built in membership sites lots of flexibility. A few bugs, but they just made 2 updates this week alone. So a good stand alone solution for membership sites and product delivery.

The best alternate I found is a WPMU Dev product where you pay a yearly fee and get a full access to WP MU set up with every plugin you can imagine. They did recently have an issue with their SEO plugin- their coder ripped off a free plugin without changing much if any code and put their name on it. Lots of animosity about that one.

amember i know is good but I have not used it personally.
