Your Members Membership Plugin Features
Your Members is a Wordpress Plugin designed to turn a Wordpress Blog into a full functional membership site allowing you to have paying members take out subscriptions and or individual members buying access to specific posts.
Key Your Member Features
The following are the key features of Your Members Membership plugin.
Flexible Payment System
Built with Paypal in mind Your Members uses Paypal as its primary Payment Gateway but its modular system means other Payment Providers could be used with some extra code.
Paypal Settings
- Single Payment – Make one off payments, suitable for long term membership and or Pay Per Post Access
- Subscription – Paypal subscriptions make it easy to automate recurring payments without either party having to do anything after the initial setup.
Cancelling a subscription either by the Your Member Admin or the user via Paypal automatically cancels the account making it easy for either party to stop payments and access.
Free and Trial Membership
Your Members Supports both Free and Trial modes allowing you to require users to register to access some content without charging. As both the Free and Trial modes are both roles in their own right they can be configured just like other membership roles, allowing you to hide some content from Trial users for example. The Free Membership Role is required for Pay Per Post Access.
Multiple Membership Roles
Your Member is designed to provide Multiple Payment plans and Multiple Roles allowing an Admin to assign different payment plans to the same role. For example:
A Membership Role called “Premium” can have several plans at varying prices including a Monthly charge at one rate and a yearly Charge at a different rate.
With unlimited Roles this means you can set up a Membership site with just about any configuration you can imagine. To allow a specific role access to a post is as simple as ticking a box, and any area held in the [ private ] tags will only be available to that role.
Pay Per Post Access
No not the well known Blog Review Service! Pay Per Post allows Members with Free Membership type to purchase posts they would not normally be able to see. Once enabled each post can have its own price and a user can have multiple purchases allowing for a very flexible system.
Post/Page Delay
Post or Page delay allows user to set a delay (in days) before a member see’s certain content, this allows site owners to develop courses with content being made available on a weekly, monthly basis. Post Delay when combined with Your Members content protection is the perfect basis for membership sites.
Third Party Notification
Your Members allows Third Party scripts to be notified of a payment by calling additional scripts on a specified return page, this allows any Server side or Client side script to run on successful competition of a purchase. For example this could be used to notify an Affiliate Management software of the purchase of membership to credit the affiliate or for use with third party mailing and auto responder list services such as Feedblitz or Aweber.
Warning – There is currently no way of telling 3rd party services of a cancellation
Private Short Code
Your Members has a simple mechanism to protect a post or part of the post through the use of [ private ] [ /private ] tags, anything in these tags will not show to users not logged in or those who do not have the correct role as defined in the right hand side of a post write or managed page. This allows very flexible system, given non users the ability to see extracts or partial content or even the whole content with key sections removed.
Complete Post Protection
Your Members also offers the option of completely protecting individual pages, preventing members and non members without the correct account type from seeing the pages at all. Perfect for complete course based sites, or single membership tier sites.
Secure RSS with Tokens
Your Members allows you to provide members with full content via feeds without fear of non users accessing it. Using specially generated tokens to provide a unique url known only to the admin and the users people can add your sites content into their RSS reader.
