Build A Membership Website With WordPress – Paid Member Subscriptions -Complete Walkthrough Tutorial



In this tutorial we’re going to learn how to build a membership site with WordPress using the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin. What’s nice about this plugin is that you can create a membership website on an existing site.

This plugin will not disturb what you already have going one. Plus Paid Member Subscriptions works with Elementor; it has 4 different Elementor widgets. It also works with shortcodes, so you can use any page builder or the Gutenberg editor.

The best part is there lots of ways you can restrict content on your site to keep it private for your members, you can even provide members-only discounts for WooCommerce products or have products that only members can buy.

You can integrate payment gateways AND have unlimited membership levels.

    I have a customer that wants to integrate Sendible into their brand. Sendible offers a 7 day free membership – but that has them register on sendible – not in her account… is there some special way I can automate WordPress/WooCommerce and Sendible to create a free account and then start charging them later?

    What a fantastic tutorial, thank you so much! I wanted to ask you – how to set up the pay-per-post option with this plugin. Is that even a possibility? Like – there is a subscription plan, but individuals who don’t want a subscription can buy a post separately? Thank you!

    The "Yes, create the pages for me" button just spins and spins. Is there a bug in the plugin? Does this happen to anyone else?

    Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!

    Is it possible to give access to paid membership pages for free, for example, if you want to give a yearly membership away for free as a social media kick? Thank you so much!

    Hi, I want to add a login to our company website for staff so we can add training and manuals etc that only they can access. So we don't need payment options but do need to be able to make and send them login details and remove them when they leave etc. Is this plugin ok for that or is there a better one?

    Hey i have created a forminator registration and login form for my website. Is there any way by which i can use the forminator submitted data to create my user profile with some specific data visible to them only.

    A few days ago I used your tutorial on Profile Builder, and created the forms for Register, and Log-In. In that tutorial those forms were accessible via menu options you already had on the home page. Two questions now. First, I note in this tutorial there is an option for the plugin to create the forms for Register and Log-In; does this mean that I should not be using the forms form the other day, via Profile Builder; and use this more complete (function wise) plugin. Question two: Is there a tutorial that shows how to get the Register and Log-In functions from THIS plugin onto a Menu. The reason I am looking at this plugin is because need to restrict access to a "Members Only" section of my website (specific pages). Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

    Is there a way to limited the number of plans without using elementor around 16:00

  27. @majicediting7514

    March 28, 2024 at 2:46 pm

    i get this error message when i toggle test mode and have both test and live keys accurate. "No such payment_intent: 'pi_3K2MonJruFajY6aW0FuMm43c'; a similar object exists in test mode, but a live mode key was used to make this request."
