Kadence Memberships Pro combines membership management with rules for controlling access to WordPress content. Use it for a site with multiple membership or subscription levels, or to limit selected pages and posts to specific visitors.

Set up plans and access rules

Create unlimited membership levels or subscription packages with free, trial-based, or paid terms. Configure each plan’s price, duration, signup fee, renewal count, status, billing frequency and period, and assigned WordPress role. Payments can always renew, never renew, or renew at the member’s choice. Members can upgrade or downgrade between levels; changes are prorated according to the amount already paid and time remaining in the current membership.

Control access by WordPress user role, access level, membership level or plan, and membership status. Restrictions can apply to pages, posts, archives, custom post types, WordPress blocks, WooCommerce products, API requests, and media embedded in a post or page. Rules can cover an entire entry or selected sections. Choose whether visitors without access see an excerpt and customize the message they receive. Restricting embedded media does not protect the original file URL on the server.

Payments and member accounts

Stripe and manual payments are available. PayPal, Authorize.net, Braintree, and custom payment gateways are Pro settings. Membership pages for registration, successful registration, account management, profile editing, and billing-card updates are created automatically. Members can view their account status, renewal or expiration date, and payment history, including PDF invoices for individual payments. They can also update their name, email address, and password through the profile editor.

Pro tools and administration

Pro functions include percentage and flat-rate discount codes with usage limits and optional expiration dates, free trials with emails near the trial’s end, customizable member emails, detailed earnings reports, and Google reCAPTCHA for member login forms. The included collection of 34 Pro add-ons includes additional integrations and functionality.

Administrators can search membership entries, review active, expired, cancelled, and pending memberships, add memberships manually, make bulk changes, edit individual records, and export membership data to CSV. The extension also includes action hooks and filters, modifiable template documents, and display options designed to integrate with themes without custom CSS.

Getting started

Install and activate the extension on a WordPress site, create membership levels, configure payment options, and set access rules for each plan. Review the generated member pages and adjust the registration and account workflow for the site.
