How can I activate these sections? plus can I have woo commerce to charge my users – And Can my users have their own dashboard? please advise.
Hi,
Is your website an online shop? If you are using woocommerce to sell products, then woocommerce will provide the pages you mentioned. When you install it the pages are created automatically https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-pages/
We provide a subscription plugin, which is for creating subscriptions https://forum.tagdiv.com/subscriptions/ This isn’t related to woocommerce. So for example you use lockers on certain posts https://forum.tagdiv.com/lockers/ and visitors can create an account on your website by registering and paying to see the locked content.
It depends on what you want to do.
Thank you!
Hi Simion,
Thank you for the clarification.
My goal is not to create a traditional online store. I am building a local business magazine where businesses can purchase advertising and promotional packages directly from the website.
For example, I would like to offer packages such as Starter, Growth, and Premium plans that include business listings, articles, advertisements, website links, maps, coupons, promotions, and directory placements. After purchasing, the business would be able to submit their information and manage their profile.
Based on your explanation, it sounds like WooCommerce may be the better solution for handling these package purchases, while the Subscription plugin is more focused on paid member access to protected content.
Could you please confirm whether WooCommerce alone would be sufficient for selling these business advertising packages and managing recurring monthly or yearly payments?
I also have a few questions regarding business accounts:
1. Would businesses need their own Login/Register account and dashboard to manage their package, profile, and subscription?
2. Can business owners update their own coupons, promotions, special offers, and business information from their dashboard without requiring an administrator to make the changes?
3. If this is possible, what would be the best approach using the Newspaper theme? Would WooCommerce alone handle this, or would additional plugins be required?
4. I would also like businesses to be able to purchase and submit additional articles whenever they want. For example, a business could log into their account, purchase an article credit, submit an article with images and links, and send it for review before publication. Is this possible with WooCommerce and the Newspaper theme, and what would be the recommended setup?
My goal is to give businesses a simple self-service portal where they can purchase a package, manage their profile, update promotions, submit articles, and manage their subscription without needing manual assistance each time.
Thank you for your help and guidance.

I’ll try to provide suggestions but that’s a pretty complex functionality. Woocommerce alone won’t be enough for something like that. You will need additional plugins.
1. Each business will need their own account. Woocommerce provides an account page after they register. It can be used to manage the orders and subscriptions. But you will need the Woocommerce subscriptions plugin https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/
2. Maybe try this plugin https://woocommerce.com/products/my-account-page-editor/
3. The theme’s main purpose is to display the content, not to manage it. Our Newspaper theme provides features for Woocommerce for creating the templates (product template, product category template, shop page) and for displaying products. The Newsmag theme does not provide these features.
4. This will be separate. You’ll need a plugin for frontend submission, like this one https://pluginsforwp.com/downloads/wp-user-frontend-pro/
Or maybe don’t use Woocommerce at all. You could try this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/geodirectory/ for the directories part. And that same one for frontend submission for articles https://pluginsforwp.com/downloads/wp-user-frontend-pro/ These are different types of content, so two plugins will probably be required.
Until you find the right combination of plugins it will require a lot of research and testing. The purpose would be to use fewer plugins, and also keeping the cost down, if possible.
Thank you!
Hi Simion,
How can I use all the Banners for Businesses in my own website , not for Google ads? please advise.

Hi,
The theme ad spots are usually for ads, they can be any type of ads. But they could be used to display other things if needed.
For example in pages you can place ad boxes -> https://prnt.sc/AeKBgu11QDHF and select a spot -> https://prnt.sc/VM1dxB54O39L which displays content from the theme panel -> https://prnt.sc/_kAwiKZ_je0W
It depends on what you want to do exactly. If you want to display something related to businesses, and the information is added by the business owner when they submit their information on their website, then it depends on how you are collecting that information. If you end up using the frontend submission plugin that I mentioned, it should have options to create the submission form as needed, with custom fields as well. So you collect the information, and then you display it.
Our other theme, Newspaper, has frontend submission of it’s own, for example you can check the directory demos https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/newspaper-prebuilt-websites/?demo-type=directory These all have one or more custom post types and content submission bases on subscription.
In case I misduerstood your question please correct me.
Thank you!
