If you want to setup a magazine subscription type membership site (where members won’t have access to protected posts that were published before they joined the site), then this protect older posts extension should help.
Normally, when a member pays for a membership level, he gets access to all the protected posts/pages for that level. When this addon is active, it will only give them access to the posts/pages that were published after their join date.
After installing the addon, edit the membership level where you want to enable this feature. Then check the “Protect Older Posts” option and save it. Members of this membership level won’t be able to access posts that where published before they joined your site.
The price of this addon is $39.00
This addon plugin allows you to show a printable membership card for your members. Your members will be able to visit a page on your site and print their membership card.

[eMember_membership_card]
This shortcode will produce the following output. That print link will popup the option to print this card.
You can add an image in the card (example: your company logo) by using the “image_url” parameter in the shortcode. Here is an example shortcode usage using the featured image:
[eMember_membership_card image_url="http://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/my-logo.jpg"]
You can show the member’s profile photo (if you are using profile picture option in the membership plugin) by adding the “show_profile_photo” parameter in the shortcode.
Example shortcode usage below:
[eMember_membership_card show_profile_photo="1"]
When your members go to the page you just created and print the membership card, it will look like the following example:

You can integration WP eMember with WooCommerce so you can accept membership payment via WooCommerce.
Step 1) Download the integration addon plugin from here.
Step 2) Install the addon just like any other WordPress plugin.
Step 3) When creating a new WooCommerce product (or editing one), you can specify a membership level for that product.
Now, when a customer purchase this product, a membership account (for the specified access level) will be created for the user.
Note: Your WooCommerce checkout for all products in the shop stay as is. The eMember plugin will ONLY monitor the product checkout for products where you have specified a membership level ID. When you specify a membership level ID value in a WooCommerce product, you are telling our plugin that this product is for a membership payment.
There are a couple of different ways you can setup the membership registration scenario.
In this setup, you just use WooCommerce to do the checkout. The user/member account creation process is completely handled by eMember.
You will turn off all the WooCommerce account creation options from the “Accounts” settings of WooCommerce.
Here is a typical flow of how this process works:
Your membership products are virtual products. So make sure the “Virtual” and “Download” options are enabled in your WooCommerce product in question. This way the order will immediately go to “complete” status after successful payment.
This setup is good for users who want to use the account creation option of WooCommerce.
Go to the Admin Functions menu of eMember and enable the auto create eMember account feature. Create a free membership level (just so you can use it as a default level).
Also, you can optionally enable this feature to keep the user records in sync.
Here is a typical flow of how this process works
Our plugin will only process orders/payments that are set to “processing” or “completed” status in WooCommerce. This is to make sure the money has been received before the member account gets created (or updated).
If your WooCommerce setup is correct, then the order status will be set correctly after an online payment is received. So it should work in an automated fashion.
However, if you are accepting manual payment then you need to review your order and set the order status correctly after you receive money from the customer. You can also use an WooCommerce extension to set the order status to complete automatically (after you receive an order).
This is optional but you should enable this setting so when members log into the site via eMember’s login, they automatically get logged into their WooCommerce account (and vice versa).
The eMember Sendy Newsletters integration addon allows you to add your members to your sendy.co list when they signup for a membership account.
You can install this addon the same way you install any WordPress plugin:
Step 1) Go to the sendy integration addon menu and enter your sendy installation URL and Sendy API Key then save the settings:
Step 2) Edit the membership level in question and enter your Sendy list ID in the “Autoresponder List/Campaign Name” field:
When a member signs up to this membership level, the plugin will subscribe this user to the specified sendy list.
The addon is FREE for all customers who purchased WP eMember plugin from us.

If you want to update a member account using a HTTP GET or POST request then use this documentation.
WP eMember plugin has an API that allows you to update a member account using a standard HTTP GET or POST request. If you want to use this API then you need to enable it from the settings menu of the plugin first. The following is a screenshot of this section in the settings menu:
It is very important that you do not reveal the Secret Word/API key to anyone else.
Once you enable it, you can start to send HTTP request to the following URL to update member accounts remotely or from another software/application:
http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/api/update.php
You need a minimum of 2 pieces of information to send an update request. These are:
Optionally, you can pass the following fields with the request to update the values of those fields for the member’s account in question.
In order to update a member account via HTTP GET request, use the following format:
http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/api/update.php?secret_key=XX&member_id=XX&first_name=XX&last_name=XX
Replace the “example.com” and “XX” with the appropriate values.
PHP Code Example:The following is an example of how to construct this URL using PHP:
$secret_key = "6bd39ewe43a7bb"; $member_id= "1"; $first_name= "Jon"; $last_name= "Doe"; $prepared_data = "?secret_key=".$secret_key."&member_id=".$member_id."&first_name=".$first_name."&last_name=". $last_name; $get_url = "http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMember/api/update.php".$prepared_data; // Execute this GET Request file_get_contents($get_url);
To update a member account via HTTP POST use the following format:
<form method="post" action="http://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-eMmeber/api/update.php"> <input type="hidden" name="secret_key" value="XX"> <input type="hidden" name="member_id" value="XX"> <input type="hidden" name="first_name" value="XX"> <input type="hidden" name="last_name" value="XX"> <input type=submit value="Submit Post"> </form>
Replace the “example.com” and “XX” with the appropriate value.
This addon plugin will disable the registration and login form button immediately after the user clicks the button. If you have a slightly slow loading site then this should prevent users from clicking again and again when the form data is being submitted.
You don’t have to do anything other than keeping it active.
