Blocking Content from Builder Plugins

· ·

WP-Members has always focused on content contained in the WordPress $content variable. More recently, the popularity of builder plugins such as Page Builder by SiteOrigin or Elegant Builder from Elegant Themes has raised the issue of blocking content that is not necessarily stored in the same manner.

Note: as of version 3.0.4, the priority of WP-Members filter hooked to the_content has been changed to accommodate builder plugins.

If I have opportunity to improve on this process, it may make its way into the PayPal Subscription Extension.  For now, in order to make use of this functionality, add the following code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file. Continue Reading →

Configure the PayPal extension for two tiered pricing

· ·

Note that there is now a multi-tiered pricing example available here.

The new 0.4 version of the PayPal extension adds a number of new hooks, including some filters that, among other things, will allow for easier customization of multi-tiered pricing. This post will describe the basic code snippets needed to establish a two tiered pricing model.

This example makes the assumption that the user chooses between the two options at registration.

Block Posts After a Set Number of Page Views

· ·

On occasion, the question of how to only prompt to login after a specific number of page views or an amount of time has passed. While there is no real fool proof way to implement this type of process, there are some ways you can implement it if this is right for you.

This demonstration will focus on requiring a user to login on blocked content after a set number of pages have been viewed on the site.  Continue Reading →
