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.

WooCommerce Memberships

 WooCommerce Memberships

WooCommerce Memberships is an extension for WooCommerce that allows you to restrict your content so that it’s only accessible to members on your site. Customers can get access to a membership by purchasing a product, registering for an account, or you can choose to only create memberships by manually assigning them to customers.

Memberships are valid for an unlimited time or set length (i.e., one year), but can be recurring when Memberships is used alongside of WooCommerce Subscriptions.

Memberships can restrict your posts, pages, and custom post types (such as portfolios) so that only members can access them. You can also restrict WooCommerce products: Memberships lets you to prevent viewing a product, or only restrict purchasing to members while allowing it to be publicly viewed.

Memberships allows you to schedule when members should have access to content, known as content dripping. If customers sign up for a membership, you can determine how long they have to wait to gain access to certain content in terms of days, weeks, months, or years.
