What it does
If you sell access to articles, videos, courses or files, you need a way to decide who sees what and to collect recurring payments. This plugin handles both inside WordPress. You create membership levels, attach access rules and pricing to each one, and then lock posts, pages, categories or custom content types so only the right members can view them. You can also hide restricted posts from visitors who lack access, which keeps listings tidy.
Once members sign up, the plugin keeps track of their subscriptions and payment history. Members can upgrade, downgrade or cancel on their own, and automatic emails cover confirmations, renewals, expirations and receipts. Discount codes help with promotions, and built-in reports show earnings and membership growth. Developers get hooks and filters to customize behavior, and add-ons connect the plugin to third-party services such as email marketing and affiliate tools.
Best for
- Publishers selling access to premium articles or videos
- Educators offering paid courses or tiered learning content
