Hello, I’m looking at the Paid Memberships Pro WordPress plugin to start a membership site.
The plugin authors removed it from the WordPress.org repo, but one of its add-ons is still there, and seems to be compatible with the latest version of CP.
Has anyone tried this yet? I would like to accept payments on my site, so I was wondering if there’s anything I should keep in mind if I attempt this.
I see that plugin uses blocks, so I’d check with which version of WordPress it says it’s compatible. If it says 4.9 or lower, you should be good. If it says 5.0 or higher, I expect you’ll be out of luck.
As long as payments don’t use blocks, it should work. But if it doesn’t use blocks for payment and it’s working for you so far, then I don’t know what it uses blocks for!
If I remember correctly, it allows for restricting access to blocks based on membership level. So viewers wouldn’t see them unless they had access, and authors couldn’t use them without the right level (though I might be mixing this second thing up with a permissions-editing plugin…)
I used Paid Memberships Pro with 4 different projects. I am a big fan!
Never tried it with CP, though, but it would be awesome if it worked.
Based on the fact that they removed it from the WP repo, and the husband and wife developers seem very easy going, I would ask them to consider implementing CP support. Or adding conditional code for WP vs CP.
