This guide will walk you through switching your WordPress site’s membership plugin from Restrict Content Pro to Paid Memberships Pro.
Due to the nature of eCommerce, your live site will continue to bring in new data—new orders, new members, new comments and posts in your forum, for example.
The goal is to interrupt your live money-making site as little as possible. 💰
There are two important parts to completing your migration from Restrict Content Pro to Paid Memberships Pro:
- Migrating your members and their subscriptions
- Migrating the content protections from the previous system to the new system
We’ll cover both of these processes. If you follow all of the advice and instructions in this guide, you’ll end up with:
- A WordPress membership site powered by Paid Memberships Pro.
- Seamless ongoing payments from past customers (if recurring)
- New member payments powered by Paid Memberships Pro.
