Hello, today I am going to show you how to create a simple upgrade page with the help docs The help docs is the easiest way because it doesn't require any real coding experience as I don't even know how to code too. I just found this to be easier.

First

You want to create a help document.



Now

You can edit the following pre-made upgrade page I have made on my forum. Just copy and paste it in your Document box according to your preference.

<img src="where ever your upgrade user bar image is"/>

<div>Features:</div>

<br>
<div>The current price is $XX USD.</div>
<br>
<div><b>TOS 1</b></div>
<div><b>TOS 2</b></div>
<div><b>TOS 3</b></div>
</div>
<br>
<div>More information can be found <a href =LINK THIS TO YOUR HELP DOCUMENT ON MEMBER UPGRADES>here</a></div>
<br>

Now, all we need is a PayPal Buy Now button, huh?

For your PayPal button click this link.

On that page you can create your PayPal button.



It would be best to make the Text Field say "Enter Your Username Below" so that when they pay their username will be in the notes.

Add the embed PayPal Buy Now code to the end of the code above. Make sure you add the code after the break tag <br>

Because it's not a good tutorial. All you did is provide some very basic HTML, and this method won't cause the user to automatically upgrade to a new usergroup as far as I can tell.

It looks like any other upgrade page without pictures. If you want a real nice one just open up Photoshop and create a nice picture.

That's what I mean. You did not really do any work ...

I will say this is more suitable for a donation page. Keep it going anyways!

This is what it will look like:

I know it doesn't require much work but I considered it will be much more easier than using a plugin that requires a subscription to the site.
