I know it isn’t cheap but it might turn out to be a good long-term investment.
THE BEST GENEALOGY WORDPRESS PLUGINS SOFTWARE
What do you not like about it? I noticed there’s a WordPress plugin that allows you to integrate the software you’re currently using with WordPress.Īnyhow, I’d use ExpressionEngine for what you’re looking to do. You already seem to be using the TGN CMS that is designed specifically for genealogy sites. I’d like to know it was going to work for our purposes. I am willing to shell out $150 for Expression Engine but it’s not chump change to me. Appears to require shell access (SSH) – why would anyone make their product so difficult to install? Also, it is huge, almost 12,000 files and 75 MB in size – looks like they’ve thrown the kitchen sink into it. have tried for two days to get it working on remote shared host.
TikiWiki – got it working on local computer. phpBB – it’s easy to register and log in not collaborative, can’t insert media, etc. ModX – love it but not sure how it would work for collaborative editing. WordPress – wonderful, but doesn’t seem to support collaborative editing. 
contact form for each member so they can be sent email by site visitors. 
member directory by category – for different research areas (researchers by country, surname, etc.) (members can belong t more than one category – so selecting England, Smith would give all researchers for the intersection of those two categories). members can add themselves into the researcher directory (i.e. the ability to bridge the search function to search fields in the genealogy database would be VERY nice!. … (to allow for submission and editing of articles before publishing in a Journal) having separate area where only members can view articles would be nice. the ability for WordPress-style “comments” on an article (without editing the article itself) would be nice. ability to lock documents to prevent editing would be nice. uploading of articles and media (images, video, pdf, etc.). tiered menus or categories so can have articles pigeon-holed by topic. Here’s a list of what I think we need (from a novice in CMS): We need a place to post documents (articles) that are not “related” to the people in the database – censuses, newspaper articles, vital records, book excerpts, information on places and events, pictures, maps, etc. There is already a large database of individuals with notes (see bridging the search function below). This is a genealogy / family history site. I need something where the greenest novice can easily register, log in, post an article and upload content. I am so glad to find your cogent analysis of the various CMS.
