What it does
Running a community or membership site on WordPress usually means sending users into the backend or stitching together several tools for sign-up, profiles and access control. This plugin handles those jobs from the front end. Visitors register and log in through customizable forms, then edit their own profiles without touching the dashboard. You build the forms with a drag-and-drop builder, add custom fields and use conditional logic to show or hide fields based on what a user enters.
Beyond profiles, the plugin covers the structure of a membership site. You can define custom user roles with their own permissions, restrict pages or posts by role or membership level, and change navigation menus depending on whether someone is logged in or which role they hold. Member directories let visitors search and filter lists of members, and profiles can display each member's posts and comments. Developers can extend it through actions and filters, and add-ons cover extras like private messaging, social activity walls, WooCommerce integration and Google reCAPTCHA.
Best for
- Online communities and social network style sites
- Membership sites with members-only pages or posts

Features
Front-end user profiles
Members create and manage their own profiles directly on the site, with no need to access the WordPress backend.
Drag-and-drop form builder
Build registration, login and profile forms with custom fields using a drag-and-drop interface, without writing code.
