Below are three code recipes that will add a column to the All Posts, All Pages, or Categories screens in the WordPress Dashboard. This is an easy way to see how your content is being restricted for members.

Remember, you can lock posts and pages using the “Require Membership” meta box or lock a category under the Memberships > Membership Levels > Edit Level screen.

If your membership site makes use of discount codes, the fields to enter a code will appear on the membership checkout page for all levels. Use the code recipe below to hide these fields for a free membership level checkout or for specific levels you don’t offer discounts for.

But wait, why don’t you just do this automatically?

Some people make use of the Discount Codes in unique ways – even for their “free” levels. For example, we have one customer using these codes as “Invoice Numbers” that are mapped to a specific dollar amount. The member selects the “level” which has no fee, but enters the provided “code” to pay their amount owed. Or, some use discount codes to extend a free trial period.
