Can You Use the Simple Membership Plugin for Just a Section of Your Site and Not the Full Website?

The Simple Membership plugin was created to be a quick and easy way for any WordPress site owner to enable membership features. The plugin is completely free and compatible with both the Classic and the Gutenberg formats of WordPress. If you’re looking to add memberships to your website or blog then you should consider this plugin. It is currently one of the most popular WordPress plugins in the marketplace. As its name suggests, this plugin simply enables membership features for your site. You don’t need to change any of the default settings. You can, however, choose to activate the plugin on only a specific page or section of your site. In this article, we will discuss how to set up a section of your site to be open to the public while keeping the membership features active only for your members.

How Do I Enable the Membership Plugin on My Site?

It is very simple to enable the membership plugin on your site. You just need to navigate to the plugin’s settings area in WordPress and make a few simple choices. Let’s take a look.

Select the Pages On Which You Will Activate the Plugin.

The first thing you will want to do is decide which pages on your site you will activate the plugin on. To do this, click on the “Pages” tab located in the plugin’s settings area. You will see a list of your active pages. If you are unsure which pages you should activate the plugin on then it is a good idea to simply activate it on all of them at first and then decide which ones to activate later on. This way you can find what works best for your site’s content.

When you activate the membership plugin on a specific page then that page will have membership options available to all of its visitors. However, if you deactivate the plugin on that same page then the membership options will no longer be available to anyone. So, it is important to keep in mind when choosing which pages to activate.

Set The Membership Levels For Your Members.

The next step is to decide what membership levels you will offer your members. You can either choose to have a free membership or a premium membership. When choosing the membership level then you need to decide if you want to allow people to become members immediately when they visit your site or if you want to have an account creation step first. If you choose the first option then simply enter a password in the “Member options” area next to the membership level you have chosen. If you choose the second option then enter a member name and email address along with a password in the “User account” area. Once you have registered a new user then you can activate the “Premium Member” level. When people register as premium members then they will see additional options presented to them.

Activate The Simple Membership Plugin.

Once you have set the pages on which you will activate the plugin as well as the membership levels then you can simply visit the plugin’s dashboard area in your WordPress dashboard and click on the “Activate” button. Doing this will make the membership features available to all of your site’s visitors.

If you are wondering how the membership plugin is performing on your site then you can access your site’s dashboard and click on “Reports” in the left-hand sidebar. This will open up a small tab at the top of your dashboard that contains important information about your site’s membership including memberships, average time spent per visit, and more. You can access this same information by clicking on the “Reports” tab at the top of your WordPress dashboard.

WordPress gives us the ability to create sections of our sites that are only accessible to registered users. These are known as “Private” or “Members Only” areas. One of the cool things about the membership plugin is that it does all the heavy lifting for us and creates these private areas automatically when we activate it on a specific page. So, all we need to do is choose which pages we want to use to create these restricted areas and then set the membership options for those specific pages. Once we have done that then we can simply activate the plugin on those pages. If we want, we can then create private areas on other pages by using a code similar to this:

<?php if( is_page(‘about’) || is_page(‘contact’) ) {?>

<h2>Members Only</h2>

<p>This area of your site is only visible to your members and is restricted to members only. Feel free to show off your work or any special offers that you might have here but keep the general public out.<p>

<?php } else {?>

<h2>Private</h2>

<p>This area of your site is only visible to registered users and is restricted to registered users. Feel free to show off your work here but keep the general public out as much as possible.<p>

<?php }?>

This code will create a private area in the middle of your site that is only visible to registered users. You can choose to create a different kind of private area by using the same method but replacing “Members Only” with “Confidential” or “Private” as well as changing the name of the restricted area. So, if you are looking to keep a section of your site private then you can use this method to easily create a restricted area for your members to enjoy. You can create a registration form in the section and require people to enter their email address before they can access the form. Doing this will keep your visitors from accidentally entering public information into the form and making it easier to keep your site’s information safe.

Once you have created these restricted areas then you can test them out by publishing a blog post in each area. If you have chosen to give your members instant access then you will need to set a password for the area. This way, when a member logs in to the area they will see the blog article and not an error message.
