General Discussion

When buying a website for this course can my husband and I use the same one since we are both taking this course.

My husband and I are both taking the word press course and are wondering if we can buy one and both use it. Also the video mentioned a student discount. how much will they be after the discount.

I bet someone on the Treehouse support team such as (elizabethfawkes, Rob Allessi or Faye Bridge) would know the answer to this question.

I just re-read your question, I'm guessing you and your husband have seperate Treehouse accounts?

The student discount is the same as a regular plan, but the price is $9 a month. You have to provide proof that you are a student and proof

If you share an account, the rewards will only be unlocked once. So if your husband completes the challenge first, you can still complete it too, you just won't gain any points on the accounts. I am not sure if you can watch videos simultaneously though (I've never tried it).

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Edit:

We do! It’s $9 a month and is equivalent to our Basic membership. To join, please email [to TeamTreeHouse support] a valid student photo ID or a valid photo ID with your name on it. We also need to see a recent class document, that includes your name, date and school’s name, such as a class schedule, tuition bill or an unofficial transcript.

You can contact the support team either via the form at http://teamtreehouse.com/support or via email help@teamtreehouse.com

Thank you for your quick response. This does bring one more question though. You mentioned that we can both complete the challenges but the points will only be unlocked once. How would that effect competing course? Would I still be able to complete the course if for example my husband was the one to unlock the points.

You can complete the course as many times as you like. You would still be able to complete the course and do everything your husband did and get the same experience. You just wouldn't get a little pop up that says "Yay, you earned 30 points for completing this challenge!"
