Step-by-Step Tutorial: Building a Membership Site with WordPress

Members – Membership & User Role Editor Plugin

Members is a roles and capabilities based WordPress membership plugin. It gives your users the ultimate member experience by giving you powerful tools to add roles and capabilities and assign them to your users.

Members allows you to set permissions to restrict content on your site by providing a simple user interface (UI) for WordPress’ powerful roles and capabilities system, which has traditionally only been available to developers who know how to code this by hand.

PLUGIN FEATURES
Role Editor: Allows you to edit, create, and delete roles as well as capabilities for these roles.
Multiple User Roles: Give one, two, or even more roles to any user.
Explicitly Deny Capabilities: Deny specific capabilities to specific user roles.
Clone Roles: Build a new role by cloning an existing role.
Content Permissions / Restricted Content: Protect content to determine which users (by role) have access to post content.
Shortcodes: Shortcodes to control who has access to content.
Widgets: A login form widget and users widget to show in your theme’s sidebars.
Private Site: You can make your site and its feed completely private if you want.
Plugin Integration: Members is highly recommended by other WordPress developers. Many existing plugins integrate their custom roles and capabilities directly into it.
