Description
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.

file.FAQ
Why was this plugin created?
I wasn’t satisfied with the current user, role, and permissions plugins available. Yes, some of them are good, but nothing fit what I had in mind perfectly. Some offered few features. Some worked completely outside of the WordPress APIs. Others lacked the GPL license.
So, I just built something I actually enjoyed using.
How do I use it?
Most things should be fairly straightforward, but we’ve included an in-depth guide in the plugin download. It’s a file called
readme.md
in the plugin folder.You can also view the readme online.
Minimum PHP requirements.
Members now requires PHP 5.6+

I can’t access the “Role Manager” features.
When the plugin is first activated, it runs a script that sets specific capabilities to the “Administrator” role on your site that grants you access to this feature. So, you must be logged in with the administrator account to access the role manager.
If, for some reason, you do have the administrator role and the role manager is still inaccessible to you, deactivate the plugin. Then, reactivate it.
On multisite, why can’t administrators manage roles?
If you have a multisite installation, only Super Admins can create, edit, and delete roles by default. This is a security measure to make sure that you absolutely trust sub-site admins to make these types of changes to roles. If you’re certain you want to allow this, add the Create Roles (
create_roles
), Edit Roles (edit_roles
), and/or Delete Roles (delete_roles
) capabilities to the role on each sub-site where you want to allow this.Note: This change was made in version 2.0.2 and has no effect on existing installs of Members on existing sub-sites.
Help! I’ve locked myself out of my site!
Please read the documentation for the plugin before actually using it, especially a plugin that controls permissions for your site. We cannot stress this enough. This is a powerful plugin that allows you to make direct changes to roles and capabilities in the database.
You’ll need to stop by our support forums to see if we can get your site fixed if you managed to lock yourself out. I know that this can be a bit can be a bit scary, but it’s not that tough to fix with a little custom code.

Installation
WP-Members is designed to run “out-of-the-box” with no modifications to your WP installation necessary. Please follow the installation instructions below. Most of the support issues that arise are a result of improper installation or simply not reading/following directions.
Best Wordpress Membership Plugin
Basic Install:
The best way to begin is to review the Initial Setup Video. There is also a complete Users Guide available that covers all of the plugin’s features in depth.
- Upload the
/wp-members/
directory and its contents to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress®
You are ready to begin using WP-Members. Now follow the instructions titled “Locking down your site” below.
Locking down your site:
- To restrict posts, you will need to use the
<!--more-->
link in your posts. Content above to the “more” split will display on summary pages (home, archive, category) but the user will be required to login to view the entire post. You may also use the plugin’s auto excerpt setting to create post excerpts automatically. If you do not use the “more” tag or the auto excerpt setting, full post content is going to show on archive templates, unless the post is marked as hidden. - To begin restricting pages, change the plugin default setting for pages to be blocked. Unlike posts, the
<!--more-->
link is not necessary in the blocking of pages, but must be used if you have the “show excerpts” setting turned on for pages. - To protect comments, we recommend setting “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” under Settings > Discussion.
- On the Settings > General page, it is recommended that you uncheck “Anyone can register”. While not required, this will prevent WP’s native registration from colliding with WP-Members, especially if you are using any of the WP-Members additional registration fields.
- Under Settings > Reading, “For each article in a feed, show” is recommended to be set to “Summary.” WordPress installs with full feed settings by default. If you don’t change this, your feeds will show full content.
Additional Setup Information
There are also some special pages that can be created with simple shortcodes:
- A User Profile page where registered members can edit their information and change/reset their password: [wpmem_profile]
- A Registration page available for those that need a specific URL for registrations (such as email marketing or banner ad landing pages). Note: this is strictly optional as a registration form can also be included by default on blocked content pages: [wpmem_form register]
- A Login page. This is also an optional page as the login form is included by default on blocked content. But if you need a specific login page, this can be created with a simple shortcode: [wpmem_form login]
- And more shortcodes are available!
Powerful cusotmizations can be constructed with over 120 action and filter hooks, as well as user accessible functions.
