WP-Members is a free WordPress membership plugin that lets your site attribute member roles to visitors, much like MemberPress, LearnDash, and Teachable. There’s an option to limit user posts, comments, or functions around the site. You can also customize how they register and provide all the fields you need to approve them.

Your WP admin team will be on top of all new registrations through the notification system. They’ll also be placed on hold until the admin can approve them, which adds an extra security measure. You’ll find a massive library of filters and extensions you can add to the plug-in, but not all of them are available in the free version.

Accept member registrations

If you have a site where you need visitors to sign up for different roles and rewards, WP-Members provides the functionality for easy customization. Even after they have registered, you’ll set the rules for which types of posts and comments are hidden or shown. 

It also integrated the registration process with your current WordPress theme so it doesn’t look confusing. If you don’t want the site to directly approve members, the plugin can place them on hold for your admin to approve.

Shortcodes for extra functionality

There are over 120 filter hooks and actions that add to the customization options to make it stand out from your competition. It requires shortcodes that you’ll need to place for content restriction, registration fields, and login pages, depending on your needs. 

Free and Premium extensions

If the standard WP-Members plugin doesn’t cover all your needs, there are some extensions you can add for more functionality. The two free ones include anti-spam protocols and test emails. If you’re willing to sign up for the Premium version, you can add redirecting URLs, file restrictions, code invitations, Mailchimp integration, WooCommerce registrations, and PayPal subscriptions.

Let your visitors register for roles

WP-Members is ideal if you have a website that needs easy registration functionality that won’t take you weeks to set up. The processes are straightforward to perform, while your admin team will enjoy establishing roles and restrictions. 

The extra extensions are also handy, even if it would have been better as a single package.
