The landing page for your membership levels is a primary place where your site attracts and sells its membership products. At PMPro, we offer several ways for you to design this page, including the default membership levels page shortcode or block and more extended options when using the Advanced Levels Page Add On.
But, some sites want even more control over designing this page. If you would like to design a completely custom membership level pricing page, this guide is for you.
In this article, we’ll cover the basics of designing a custom membership level pricing page using page builders, like the Block Editor or Elementor, as well as a few free pricing table plugins.
The next step is to set up some pages that Paid Memberships Pro needs to get the job done.
The Memberships > Settings > Pages admin page allows you to generate and manage all frontend pages needed for your Paid Memberships Pro site.
If you generated frontend pages within the Setup Wizard, this step is already completed for you.
If you’re using Paid Memberships Pro on your website and only offer one membership level, there’s an effective way to simplify this process for your users—by skipping the PMPro Levels page and directly guiding them to the checkout page.
This strategy can help streamline the user journey, increasing conversion rates and enhancing overall user satisfaction. In this guide, we will explore why you might want to use this approach and how you can easily implement it on your own website. Whether you’re a seasoned PMPro user or a novice, this post will provide the insights you need to optimize your membership sign-up process. Let’s dive in!
The Membership Levels page displays the available membership levels and a link to complete checkout. You can use the default shortcode or block appearance for this page, or design a more attractive layout using the Advanced Levels Page Shortcode Add On.
This page can also be created using any page builder or custom pricing table plugin, you just need to include the correct checkout links for each membership level you offer.
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 Memberships > Settings > Page Settings admin page allows you to generate and manage all frontend pages needed for your Paid Memberships Pro site. In addition, any Add Ons that have a frontend page requirement are managed here.
The Membership Checkout Button Block allows you to create a button-style link that takes a user to checkout for a specific membership level.
This block can be used with the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) to build a custom membership levels page for your unique style.

This guide outlines the process to redirect users from empty category or tag archives to the levels page.
Why would the category archive or tag archive be blank? In Paid Memberships Pro, we offer a setting to filter members-only content from the search results or archives pages. If all posts in a specific category are protected, there would be no results.
Use this code recipe to redirect users to your pricing page (or another page of your choice) when they can’t access that content.
Unlocking the potential of a successful membership site requires more than just compelling content—it demands a thoughtful and strategic approach to user experience.
When carefully crafted, your membership site becomes more than just another website. It evolves into a thriving environment where members find value, engage actively, and build lasting relationships.
In this guide, we dive into the 7 essential pages that anchor a successful membership site:
- Explore the core pages that shape a potential member’s journey, from the initial introduction on the homepage to the decisive moment on the checkout page.
- For current members, we emphasize the importance of user-friendly dashboards, seamless login processes, and easy-to-navigate support and cancellation pages.
- Finally, this guide explores the specialized pages you may need based on your specific niche.
This guide is designed to give you a blueprint for building a successful membership site that not only attracts new members, but also retains and nurtures its existing base.
Sell group memberships to corporate organizations, families, teams, or any group of people where one member pays for a collection of people to access your content individually.
Your membership site’s login page gets a ton of traffic—not only for people trying to log in to their existing account but also for non-members who happen upon this page while browsing premium content.
Depending on how you protect access in your membership site, people may be redirected to this page in their normal browsing patterns, too.
With all this traffic, we wanted to give you a tutorial on how to make this page work a little harder for you and your business goals. Here’s a creative way to make this basic login page do more than just its sole purpose of allowing your members to sign in.
This code recipe gives you the drop-in content for the WordPress Block Editor to make your login page have a dual purpose: add a small ad block on your login page that includes a link to registration and some benefits of becoming a member.
Set up discount codes that completely override the membership level initial price, subscription, expiration, trial and more.
Integrate your membership site with WooCommerce to offer members-only product discounts as a global percentage off or per-product.
Paid Memberships Pro supports the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) with 15 blocks included in the core plugin. In this documentation, we cover how to use the blocks designed for your frontend plugin pages, like the Membership Account or Membership Checkout page.
