I’ve been tagged to be the matron of honor for a dear friend’s wedding and since she’s a zillion miles away and I won’t be able to perform many of the usual duties, I’ve offered to make her a website.

I’ve built a few sites with the paid version of EE but I’ve never used Core - I see the features list says “membership site - no”.  What we’d like to do is have a private section for just bridesmaids - will we be able to do that with core?

TIA

It should be doable- you can still have different member groups and sign folks up for them, you just have to do it via the backend interface.  The lack of the membership module affects the frontend membership elements, such as ‘register for this site’- etc.  But if it’s just for the bridesmaids it won’t take much time at all to create memberships for them.  When they need to sign in, they’ll do it via the backend login.

But I can’t see why it shouldn’t work for you.  (You’re a great matron of honor!)

Terrific - thanks so much!
