WP-Private : Premium Content Manager

What is a Membership Website?

admin — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 11:00:57 +0000

A membership website is a website that has pages of content that are only available to members. People visiting the site usually have to register themselves on the site to be provided with a user name and password to get access to the member-only information. The content is usually articles, but may vary from site to site.

Membership can be free or paid.

On a free membership web site the site owner provides access to their premium content in exchange for a persons contact details. The goal of these sites is usually to build an email newsletter list through which other products and services can be sold.

Paid membership web sites offer access to premium content in exchange for a monetary payment. This can be a one-off payment e.g. $1 for 24 hours access, or more usually a recurring payment for ongoing access e.g. $10 per month. Subscription rates vary from $10 to several thousand dollars a year. Subscriptions for membership are usually done on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. These payments are processed automatically via the website.

One of the most important aspect of a membership site is security of the premium content. The site owner has to ensure that people cannot get access to the membership area of your website without signing up or being approved by an administrator.

This is where Wp-Private fits in. Using Wp-Private you can not only secure your content but also provide public access to parts of the content to create curiosity or the urge to register among visitors. You can even block a particular user(s) from viewing your valuable content.

How to block a particular user from seeing my protected content?

admin — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 10:10:09 +0000

There might be occasions when you don’t want all registered users on your blog accessing the premium content.

You can block a particular user from accessing the premium content using the plugin admin area as follows.

Consider the following case where my site has only two users. I want to prevent the user “crazyuser” from seeing my protected content.

So I head over to “Users who cant see blocked content” section in the plugin admin page.

Here you can see all registered users in your blog.

Since we want to prevent access to the user “crazyuser” you have to select the particular user.

Click SAVE and crazy user wont have access to the blocked content even if he logs in.

A message stating that he doesn’t have access to premium content can be shown to such users using the “Text For Logged-in But Not Authorized Users” section.

You may want to let the blocked user know why he doesnt have access to premium content or might want to ask him to subscribe to a particular membership plan.

You can use the “Text For Logged-in But Not Authorized Users” section to target these users.
