A Great WordPress Membership Plugin
Finally - a WordPress Membership plugin that works. I've used them all and none have worked. You might expect that I'd be a bit skeptical about yet another one. The difference is that my friend Stu McLaren and his techie (and all around good guy) friend, Tracy Childers developed it. Oh yeah - and IT WORKS! I have shamelessly stolen part of his page because no words describe this plugin better than Stu's. Features Include:Unlimited Membership Levels Your membership site can have as many “levels” as you want. So if you want “Silver”, “Gold” and “Platinum”, you can! Now you can charge more for a higher level of access - all within the same blog.
Simple Installation With New or Existing WordPress Blog Whether you have an existing WordPress site or if you are starting a new one, installing WishList Member is a breeze. Just unzip the file, upload to your “plugins folder” and activate.
Flexible Membership Options WishList Member gives you the ability to create Free, Trial or Paid membership levels (and any combination of all three).
Sequential Content Delivery Depending on your setup, you may want to graduate your members from one level to the next. For example, members start at “Module 1? and after 30 days they are automatically upgraded to “Module 2?. That’s what the Sequential Content Delivery system is for
Control Viewed Content If you don’t want your members to see content they don’t have access to, just click the “Hide” button. This works REALLY well if you have a “modular” membership and only want people in “Module 1? to see “Module 1? and not “Module 2,3,4,5? etc.
Shopping Cart Integration WishList Member seamlessly integrates with the most popular shopping cart systems including PayPal, ClickBank, Google Checkout and many more. Plus, WishList Member now has total integration with 1ShoppingCart.
Easy Member Management At a glance you can see your members, their registration status, membership level and much more. It’s also a snap to upgrade members, move them to different levels, “pause” their membership or delete them entirely.
Multi-Level Access WishList Member can go beyond just a membership site as you can easily give your members access to multiple levels within your membership (this works well if you’d like to create a central download location).
Total Content Protection WishList Member gives you the ability to determine exactly what your members can access. You can even drill down and grant access to specific posts, pages, categories and comments for each membership level. The possibilities are endless!
Secure RSS Feeds Secure RSS feeds allow your members to view their membership material in their favorite RSS reader. But, it also gives you complete control - non-members can’t access the feed and if a person stops paying, their feed automatically stops working.
Subscription Length Control With this feature you can control the length of time each member has access to your membership site. Now you can automatically expire a membership after 3 days, 7 days or whatever time period you want.
Login Redirection If you would like to control the first page your members see when they login, now you can. The best part is, you can have a different redirection page for each membership level. It’s perfect for adding welcome messages, updates, news and so much more.
“Sneak Peak” Content Display Protecting your content is extremely easy because everything after the “more” tag is automatically protected for members only. So an eye-grabbing post title, combined with a compelling opening paragraph is more than enough to wet the appetite of non-members!
Custom Error Pages When a person tries to access content they don’t have permission to view, they will be taken to an error page. Now you can determine what that page will be. This gives you the chance to encourage them to register or upgrade to a different membership level.
Partial Content Display Let’s say you want the majority of a post to be displayed for non-members except for one sentence. With the Partial Content Display feature you can hide that “secret sentence” so that it only displays the “secret sentence” for your members. It’s very cool
Much, Much More! WishList Member has a wide variety of additional features that expand the way you can use WordPress to build and grow your membership site. Plus, we’re always adding more based on suggestions from our customers. So - if you have, as I have, been waiting for a WordPress plugin to create a great and complete membership site, check out WPWishlist.

Perfect! I am setting up a hiking club site/blog and we are in need of a membership login system for it.
Thanks for this post. We’ve been trying to set up a members directory with Joomla and gave up because it took forever to customize. Hearing the same can be done in Wordpress is music to my ears.
Best wishes,
James
Awesome. Was looking for a plug-in like this. Even I did searches earlier and the plug-ins I found were not at all useful with what I wanted to do. Thanks again for the wonderful stuff. Cheers
Thanks for the plug in link! I was wondering, can this also be incorporated with a forum script like phpbb? Trying to get everything together at once to get a whole package. thanks Sandy
Great information. Me and my buddies are developing a web page for our local sports club and we were hunting for a plug-in like this. It sounds awesome. I need to check it out and see. Thanks again.
i just finished making my own theme and I needed to implement a membership capabilities in my site. The plug-in has all what I need. i will try it out tonight. Thanks and appreciate it.
Hey guys, I'm still new to blogging and this plug-in helped me a great deal. It was simple and nice. Thanks a lot for the awesome plug-in. Cheers
Yup, agree with James. I've been trying to get a member directory at blogger but had no luck. But now i think we will move to Wordpress. The articles I've been reading lately shows Wordpress as a powerful service And since the member directory can be implemented It's going to be a definite move.
Hmmmm well that's interesting. I've been looking around for a membership plug-in and found few. but this is the best amongst them. one question though, will the load on the blog affect the speed of it? I can't compromise speed but can accommodate a small drop.
Great question - I have seen no slowdown on any blog. It just doesn't seem to be that 'hoggish'. And that's a good thing!
Yup, as most of the people here it's high time moved to wordpress I guess. I needed to make a membership site on drupal but had no luck. WP seems to have great support. I should migrate this weekend. thanks for the plug-in mate. This is exactly why I'm moving to WP. To use this plug-in
Thanks again.
The timing seems to be right! Welcome to the WordPress community.
This looks great! Although it costs 97usd it has a 30 day trial so I will do that! Thanks for the tip!
Awesome. I was in the lookout for a good membership plug-in. This would do the trick
Finally a really effective plug-in. Thanks a bunch for it. Appreciate it. Cheers
Ncie. Certainly interesting. I wanted to try out a new membership site in few weeks. But this tempted me to start today
Thanks for the plug-in. Cheers
That’s really cool. I’ve come across some other plug-ins but this one is by far the best for the job. Thanks for the information. Also love what you have done to the site. Great stuff.
Thanks a bunch for this plugin. I have DLGuard but was on the verge of going with a different membership product which would have been unfortunate because all I wanted was a decent wordpress membership site anyhow. Like you said though, the existing tools for doing this suck and believe me I’ve wasted a lot of time trying them. I’m going to give this a whirl.
This is a great plugin! Thanks very much. Exactly what I was looking for.
For the great information I must thank you! Thanks for the plug in link!
