Answers.Text: Put this on the backburner now looking at it. Having difficulty. Copied Contribution Batch Entry profile and added the Contribution Page Id Field and moved to top of profile. Have a member dues contribution page. Added the profile to the contribution page. Getting error "Warning Some of the profile fields cannot be configured for this page." Do I somehow have to code the Contribution Page ID in the profile?

Answers.Text: One thing to mention - our volunteers are not very computer literate. We absolutely do not want them working in the back end, so I'm trying to find out a way they can do the data entry from a webpage. Am using wordpress and latest version of CiviCRM

  The logic behind only allowing pending (pay later) contributions to be created from online contribution pages is that typically, those using the contribution pages are most likely doing so online, not real time, hence if the pay later option is selected, it means that payment will be sent as opposed to handed over to someone.
  
  You say that your volunteer then needs to go into the contribution record and update the contribution status, so this means that they have access to the back office - why not instruct them to submit a new membership directly from the back office with a status of completed?
