WordPress eMember – Easy to Use WordPress Membership Plugin

WordPress eMember is a powerful WordPress Membership Plugin that can turn your existing or new WordPress site into a fully featured membership site easily.

Install the plugin, follow our video tutorials and within minutes you will have your own membership site ready to go!

WP eMember lets you selectively protect articles by creating various membership levels (example: Free, Basic, Premium, Ultimate etc.) and protect the content (posts, pages, comments etc) of your site. The plugin manages all the membership management side of things.

Membership Plugin Features

Below are just some of the notable features of the WP eMember Plugin:

    Easy installation like any other WordPress plugin. Upload, activate, follow our video tutorials and you will be up and running within minutes.

    Content Protection

    Selectively protect the full or a section of an article content. Create different membership levels and select what content (posts, pages, categories, comments) can be viewed by each membership level.

  • unlimited membership levels

    Unlimited Membership Levels

    Create “Basic”, “Premium”, “Ultimate”, or any other levels you want. Charge more for higher levels of access – all within the same WordPress site.

  • Multisite icon

    Multi Site License

    When you buy the WP eMember plugin you can use it on as many sites as you own (you gotta love that!). There is no “Developer Option” here. One low price entitles you to use the plugin on all of your sites.

  • Easy member management

    Easy Member Management

    View your members, membership level, account status and much more. Easily upgrade members, move them to different membership level, pause their membership, or delete them entirely.

  • partial content protection

    Partial Content Display

    Easily protect a section or sections of a post or page to create teaser content. Only members with the correct permission can view the protected section content. How to do it is explained here.

  • secure RSS feed for members

    Secure RSS Feeds

    Secure RSS feeds allow your members to view their membership material in their favorite RSS reader (non-members cannot access the feed).

  • automatic membership upgrade

    Automatic Membership Upgrade

    Schedule automatic upgrade of your members from one level to the next. For example, after 30 days, you can automatically upgrade members from a “Silver” level to “Gold” level which will allow them to view the content of this new level.

  • member after login redirection

    Login Redirection

    Set the first page your members see when they login. Even use a different redirection page for each membership level.

    Can be integrated with the WordPress eStore (WordPress Shopping Cart) plugin so you can create any type of payment buttons for your paid membership content.

    @Andrew, Yes you can add custom fields to the registration page and profile page. You can also edit what can be seen on the profile page by other members.

  • #2 by Andrew on June 12, 2013 - 1:18 am

    Can I customize the registration and profile page?

  • #3 by Ivy on May 23, 2013 - 8:40 pm

    @MP, Yes you can do this. You just need to use the section protection options. You can read about all of them here:

  • #4 by MP on May 23, 2013 - 2:05 pm

    Can I protect different areas of the same post/page for different membership levels so that the more you pay the more content you get from the same post/page?

  • #5 by Ivy on May 22, 2013 - 1:45 pm

    @Joy, Yes you can do this when using the eMember and eStore.

    Can I make it so my members can see their purchase history with download links?

  • #7 by Maxwell on May 4, 2013 - 10:14 pm

    I love this plugin and all the work you guys do. Keep up the good work. =)

  • #8 by Ivy on April 15, 2013 - 8:34 pm

    @Bill, I believe the following option is what you are looking for.

    http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/?p=194

    We handle drip content a little differently however this will allow you to drip content as you need to.

  • #9 by Bill on April 15, 2013 - 3:25 am

    can I use this to drip feed content every 2 weeks for a period of time?
    I have wpaffiliate and wpestore as well
    thanks

  • #10 by Allen on March 30, 2013 - 11:43 am

    Have spent weeks comparing WP Membership plugins, and the additional plugins for eStore and Affiliate Platform were the pushing points for me getting eMember.

    I’m really excited to get this new site up… I’ll be selling my training manuals in eStore, and have Free, Silver and Gold membership levels as well as a full blown affiliate program to promote the books and sell my current PLR books… all for under 200 bucks… how can anyone beat that?

    Love the versatility that these 3 plugins will provide.

    Content protection was another major PLUS in my decision.

    You guys ROCK!

    Allen

  • #11 by Ivy on March 19, 2013 - 8:09 pm

    @Kabir, Yes you can create upgrade buttons for your memberships. This will allow the member to upgrade their membership whenever they want to.

  • #12 by Kabir on March 19, 2013 - 6:04 pm

    Is it possible that members can upgrade their membership lavel by themself?

  • #13 by Suneel on February 15, 2013 - 9:14 pm

    Very nice and complete membership plugin. Thanks for that.

  • #14 by Ivy on January 28, 2013 - 8:04 pm

    @Ron, Yes there is a download now button with stamping options. You would need the following plugins to do this Wp eStore, WP eMember and WP PDF Stamper.

  • #15 by Ron on January 28, 2013 - 10:02 am

    When using the eStore, eMember and PDF Stamper can I make it so when a member download a PDF file from my site it will stamp their information in it?

  • #16 by Ivy on December 4, 2012 - 7:23 pm

    @Jamie-Lyn, Yes you can use the member specific section protection for this. This will make it so only that member can view the content when he is logged into his memebership. You can read more about this here:
    http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/?p=88

  • #17 by Jamie-Lyn on December 3, 2012 - 9:52 pm

    Can I protect a page on my site so only a specific member can see that content? I sell a design service and I would like it so the customer can log in and view the designs. So I need it so a customer only has access to their designs.

  • #18 by Ivy on October 22, 2012 - 11:13 am

    @ Francis, Yes you can manually add the membership via the admin.

    As for the password you can make these whatever you want. However the usernames must be unique. You can however allow more than one person to log-in with the same account.

  • #19 by Francis Porter on October 22, 2012 - 4:46 am

    Hi
    My client runs a training centre and they want a Students Area for different classes but the students will all be registered by the Admin and so there will not be an individual sign-up process – so in other words can ‘Members’ be registered manually via the Admin. area AND can there be one password per Class?
    Thanks

  • #20 by Ivy on October 11, 2012 - 2:18 am

    @Chris, Yes you can specify a after login re-direction page on a per member basis.

  • #21 by Chris B on October 11, 2012 - 2:12 am

    Hi,

    I’m developing a backend area for my clients so that they will be able to check invoices and project statuses. Now I see the whole protection of a section page and what not and that may do what I want it to do.

    Is there anyway that I could set it up to where after each member signs in, the page redirects to their own personal member account page?

  • #22 by Ivy on October 3, 2012 - 8:35 pm

  • #23 by Greg on October 3, 2012 - 8:19 am

    Can this plugin control the navigation menu of a site? For example, menu items will only appear for certain membership levels?

  • #24 by Ivy on August 26, 2012 - 2:12 am

    @Marissa, Yes you can use the section protection option for this. The following post will explain how to do this.

    http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/?p=88

    Section protection is a powerful tool that allows you the flexibility to protect your pages and posts any way you want to.

  • #25 by Marissa on August 26, 2012 - 2:10 am

    Can I protect just the download buttons on a page. This way only members can download the digital content?

  • #26 by Ivy on August 3, 2012 - 6:36 pm

    Thank you for saying thanks =) I am glad we could work this out for you.

  • #27 by Justin Varnes on August 3, 2012 - 11:43 am

    Just a note to thank Ruhul and Ivy for all their help in straightening out my issues with the eStore/Paypal/MailChimp integration. Got in over my head and they responded quickly.

  • #28 by Ivy on June 7, 2012 - 12:29 am

    @Wendy, Yes the eMember can do this. The following FAQ will explain more about this.

  • #29 by Wendy on May 31, 2012 - 10:48 am

    I need my members to be linked to the WordPress user roles, can this be done with the eMember?

  • #30 by Lola on May 1, 2012 - 5:32 pm

    I love the eStore and the affiliate plugins, they were relatively easy for me to install. I think I will grab this now.

  • #31 by Ivy on April 18, 2012 - 10:07 pm

    @Adega,

    I believe this maybe what you are looking for.

    Section Protection for a Specific Member

    This allows you to protect a page based on member id so only that member can view the page. You can see all the section protection here: http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/how-to-protect-a-section-of-a-post-or-page-88

  • #32 by Adega on April 17, 2012 - 6:38 pm

    Hi,
    I want to know if with this plugin is possible to build a Custom member profile so that i upload invoices (pdf files) to specific users and when they log in they see/download the .pdf from their profiles/download area.

    Thanks!!

  • #33 by admin on March 11, 2012 - 7:28 am

    You can embed your videos on a WordPress post or page then protect that post or page with eMember so only your members can see the content of the page (which is the embedded video). You probably should check vimeo’s terms and conditions first though. I am not sure if they allow you to host videos that you are going to sell. Most users prefer to host their videos on amazon S3 then embed the video on a WordPress page.

  • #34 by Rob on March 10, 2012 - 8:12 pm

    My membership site will allow user to watch educational videos. I was planning to have Vimeo house my videos, with password only access for members. Would this setup work, or would you suggest an alternative.
    Thanks

  • #35 by Ivy on March 8, 2012 - 2:53 am

    @DesignGirl, Yes this can be done. We just added this feature not to long ago so if you already have the plugin all you need to do is get an update and you should have this option. This also works good with the section protection option to protect a page for a specific member id.

  • #36 by DesignGirl on March 8, 2012 - 2:48 am

    With eMember can I have it so when a member (in this case a client) logs in it redirects them to a page specifically for them? This way I can set up a page where the client can view the work I am doing for them (only they can see it).

  • #37 by admin on February 22, 2012 - 11:07 pm

    @Vince, The short answer is yes but to be more specific I need to know if you are going to use a WordPress Multi-site install or just install 3 copies of WordPress in 3 different directories.
