Many site owners want to limit the number of members that can sign up for a membership level. This is useful if you are restricting membership for a unique course or training experience, or just want to create some scarcity as a marketing tactic.
The recipe adds a setting on the Edit Membership Level admin screen where you can set a value for the Maximum Number of Members. Once that limit is reached, the system blocks additional membership checkouts.
Encourage visitors to join now by displaying this limit in your site in the format “2/10 spots available”.

By default, Paid Memberships Pro hides some of our required frontend pages from your site’s search results, like your Membership Account and Membership Confirmation page. Hiding these pages streamlines your site’s search results and helps people find the most meaningful content when using the search feature.
While most sites prefer to keep this filter in place, there are some sites that want to add the PMPro frontend pages back to search.
This blog post includes a code snippet that reverses the default setting, adding your site’s PMPro frontend pages back to the search results.Â
I have this plugin installed on several membership sites, and believe me when I tell you that it is absolutely incredible! I used to use a different membership plugin but wasn’t happy with its limitations. I was forced to find a new solution when they stopped supporting it, which led to conflicts and crashes.

Navigating the complexities of international taxes is an important and challenging aspect of running an online business. We’ve covered the topic of taxes in great detail on our companion post What You Need To Know About Subscription Tax for Your Membership Site.

The PMPro Log In page displays a login form that your members use to log into your site. It’s also the page where your users can reset their passwords.
There are few ways to customize this page which we’ll cover in this guide, including:
- Using the WordPress editor.
- Using another Page Builder.
- Or, using custom code.
When it comes to managing memberships on your website, capturing accurate user information is crucial. While virtual and online membership sites typically rely on minimal user details, there are instances where maintaining a member’s physical, shipping, or billing addresses becomes necessary.
So what types of sites need to capture addresses, and how do you capture them?
- Maybe you’re running a hyperlocal membership like an HOA or a local professional organization
- Or even offering directory and listing memberships.
- Lastly, you may need to capture a member’s full billing address for local regulatory requirements related to invoicing.
No matter the reason, capturing the right types of addresses for your business enables smooth operations. Plus, it gives your members more clarity on what address you need, both during signup and while managing their accounts.
In this article, we share the different types of addresses users may have and how Paid Memberships Pro handles each type.
With Paid Memberships Pro, you can set up membership levels with many different pricing structures. We cover these in our guide on how to price a membership site and the 10 most popular membership pricing models.
One error we see from time to time is that the admin incorrectly sets a recurring payment and an expiration date on their membership levels. While the system can handle this setup, it is not the recommend way to set up a recurring subscription.
Continue reading this guide to understand the specific cases where you would want to set up an expiration date on a recurring membership. For most sites where members pay on a recurring basis, the level’s expiration date should not be set.
The Single Level Block allows you to customize and display information about a membership level in a pricing-table like format on your Membership Levels page or other places in your WordPress posts or pages.
This block is designed to provide flexible options for showcasing membership details that stay up to date with the linked level’s price, description, expiration, and more.

The Admin Membership Access feature allows administrators to toggle their view of the site as if they had different membership levels. This feature is integrated into the WordPress admin bar, enabling quick changes without navigating away from the current page.
With Paid Memberships Pro, members can hold multiple membership levels at one time. For this reason, you must now set up Level Groups, which define how different levels relate to each other.
A subscription is an agreement with a customer to make payments at set intervals. A subscription is usually associated with a membership, though they are not the same thing.
Subscriptions manage payments, whereas memberships manage the member’s access to restricted content.
The Edit Member screen provides a comprehensive overview of a single member. The CRM-like dashboard is your one-stop view of all associated member profile information, memberships, subscriptions, order history, custom profile fields, and more.
Use this screen to update member information, including their memberships, subscriptions, and profile data. Below, we’ll break down the key panels and actions available on this screen.
