Paid Membership Pro v 5.2.1

August 23, 2012

This is a WordPress membership plugin with the ability to sell membership subscriptions or can be used for free membership management. This same plugin may be used for free memberships in that it helps organize and manage subscription levels paid or free. It is free, well designed and supported.

This plugin gets top rating for the following reasons below.

  1. Close attention to details
  2. Simple layout
  3. If you wish, PMP automatically creates all the pages you need
  4. Tracks transactions
  5. Allows the member to opt out
  6. Allows the member to move up or downgrade membership levels
  7. Timely and frequent updates
  8. May protect pages/post according to membership level

What more could you ask? Thank you Strangerstudios - great job. I highly recommend this product.

Cons:

  • A member can only join one membership offering. Example: If you offer 2 memberships, example: Record Club and the Book Club, a user can only belong to one group not both
  • Unable to send out email notifications to a member or via broadcasting to all members

Comments: There are plans to make PMPro a membership plugin which would allow a user to subscribe to more than one membership offering.
