Theme Compatibility

There can be compatibility issues from time to time if your theme does not use core WordPress functions to display post content, specifically the the_content function that is the primary way PMPro protects content. This guide will show you how to adjust when the PMPro content filters are run which can help you get around this conflict. You can also redirect non-members away from protected content if your pages are not properly hiding the content.

Theme Designers

If you are working to build PMPro compatibility into your theme, the most important pages to test are the primary frontend pages of the plugin and the output of the shortcode or block that corresponds to that page.

Note that certain themes with dark backgrounds or heavy styling may need to have some CSS rules added to the stylesheet to ensure that text is readable. You can browse our demo area to preview Paid Memberships Pro in some popular WordPress themes or view the full screenshots of frontend member pages to get an idea of how the pages will look in a compatible theme.
