Hi,
I’m currently using Wp eMember and I’have created a free level.
I now want to create a premium level and I’d like customers to have the choice to pay it once or in three times. Is it possible ? What will be the process ?
Thank you for your help !
Emilie
@Sermon, Yeah you can just replace that link with emember’s login page URL. You can get emember’s login page URL in the pages/forms settings menu of the plugin.
@Ande, This is something that will need to be coded so content can be used based on a specific condition. The PHP functions explained in the following page maybe helpful in developing something specific to your requirement.

I’m going to be using WP eMember to build an evergreen summit funnel. I’d like to have a free 15 day funnel, where each day the members get access to that day’s interviews. My question is, is there a way to have people on a page with Day 3’s interviews, for example, with a tab to the side that they can click on to access Days 1 & 2? And the next day, they’ll be on a page with Day 4’s interviews, for example, with a tab to the side for Days 1, 2 and 3’s interviews? And so on? Such that people get the interviews parsed out day by day, and they can access all the previous days content. Thanks!
Hi,
I very interested by your plugin but I have a question.
I would like to use it with Business Directory. I don’t want that the person use WP login but have another form to log the person who put an announce.
On the page of announcse there are a button with the link to WP login I would like to remplace the link to the eMember page of login.
Could you tell me if it’s possible or not.
Thank you so much
@Casper, No one asked for it before. You will show the users on a World map?
Have you considered integrating a ‘show all members’ function on a Google Map?
@Kolleen, You can use the following shortcode in your sidebar text widget area to show a login form:
[wp_eMember_login]
Also, check the following option:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/using-a-compact-login-and-join-us-message-203
Is there a short code to make a login widget for a sidebar or footer as opposed to only use a login page?
Hi Jeff, Let me know if the following will work for you:
https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/bulk-member-data-importer-addon-853
Does wp eMember allow for bulk registration. Each year, we receive a CSV file of families that need to be basic members of the site. Does your software allow for importing CSV file into the registration/member database?
@Carlos, Please check our section protection feature to see if it will meet your requirement:
http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/how-to-protect-a-section-of-a-post-or-page-88
The section protection allows you to show particular content (in your case it would be product with different price) to different membership level users.
Hi
Can I use the membership plugin to display different product prices ?
eg:
Membership A
Product A: $10
Membership B
Product A: $20
Non-registered
Product A: $50
Thanks
@Kim, Yes you can set a yearly membership cost. This would be charged out once a year.
Is it possible to set membership costs based on a 1-year membership?
