Great free plugin
-
I am a retired developer, and now develop pro-bono sites for NGOs, mainly in WordPress. We do not have any budget for that, and free plugins play an important part in what I do. NGO sites usually have a restricted area, where registered members have access to private information and such. Membership plugins are terribly expensive, and an overkill for us. But we do need to restrict content to specific user roles, and by content I mean pages and blocks. I try to avoid php code as much as possible, because I want to give them a site that they can maintain independently, and they are no programmers (this is the reason why I have picked the WordPress platform). I have tried the free version of ALL membership and access restriction plugins I could find, and Members was the ONLY ONE that delivered this functionality, simply and cleanly. In a richer NGO I also contribute to, we have the paid version of MemberPress because there we need full membership functionality, and it is a great plugin though overly expensive for our non-comercial environment. So I just have to thank the MemberPress team for generously making available this fundamental functionality for free, and hope that you keep it this way forever.
