Overview
Membership levels can represent different kinds of access on a WordPress site. This add-on links each level to a WordPress role, so members receive the role associated with their level. Site owners can use those roles to manage permissions for content and site functions, including backend access.
Role assignments can change when a member upgrades, downgrades, or cancels a membership. The add-on provides settings for mapping roles to levels, allowing site owners to manage those assignments without coding. It also works with other plugins that use WordPress roles, making it useful for membership sites with role-based tools or content.
Features
- Assign roles by level: Set a WordPress role for each membership level so members receive permissions suited to their tier.
- Update roles as levels change: Role assignments update when members upgrade, downgrade, or cancel, keeping their WordPress role aligned with their membership level.
- Map roles in settings: Manage role assignments for membership levels through the add-on's settings interface, without writing code.
- Manage site permissions: Use WordPress roles to tailor member capabilities for backend access, frontend content, and site functions.
- Work with role-based plugins: Other plugins that support WordPress roles can use the roles assigned through this add-on.
Best for
- Paid Memberships Pro site owners
- Membership sites with tier-based permissions
- Sites using plugins that support WordPress roles
