Membership access

    Hello

    I created some forums which are restricted to paid members only.
    However, when a user registers, they create an account from the registration page but when being directed to Paypal, they can simply close the Paypal page and then login to the forums. In other words, they get full access without paying!

    How can I restrict a new paid member from logging in to my forums until they have paid?

    Thanks!

    Hello @wppileyrei,

    Which software do you use to create those forums and how are you restricting them ? For bbPress, there’s an add-on in the paid version which lets you restrict the forums correctly, based on the subscription plan, not the logged in status of the user.

    If you can apply this restriction through code, you can check out here a function that will check if the user is a member or not: https://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/paid-member-subscriptions/developer-knowledge-base/useful-functions/#Check_if_user_is_member

    Regards.

    Hello and thank you for the reply.

    I am using WPFORO for the forums.

    Can you help me with any options to ensure members do not get access until paid up?

    Hello @wppileyrei,

    We don’t offer any options for WPFORO.

    Does the metabox with our content restriction options appear on their forums / topics / posts ? Did you try to use the Redirect type of restriction for these ? This usually works in more cases than the Message option.

    If that doesn’t work, you could look for a custom solution, but we can’t help with this. The documentation paged linked above provides a function that can be used to check the membership status.

    Regards.
