    “You need a membership site, but you want to focus on your business, not mastering a plugin. WP-Members is simple to use, easy to set up, yet flexible in every way imaginable.”

    Well, actually no – on all those accounts. This is not simple or easy to use, and certainly not flexible in every way. Very time consuming and laborious to setup pages (since you have to keep going to settings to get to the plugin dashboard). Doesn’t even have the option to show in the WP menu. No, it’s not flexible.

    For example you want a registration form, but you don’t want it everywhere on restricted pages – nope you can’t do that. Your going to get the registration form below every login box. I suppose I can make it work, but man its going to be a ton of work.

    For the amount of time it would take to set all this up and figure it out, I will look at other options.

    Sorry your experience was less than stellar.

    Just to point out a few things that evidently were missed.

    Very time consuming and laborious to setup pages (since you have to keep going to settings to get to the plugin dashboard). Doesn’t even have the option to show in the WP menu.

    Actually, yes there is a menu item in the WP menu. You don’t have to go to the plugin dashboard to get to the settings. It’s under Settings > WP-Members. (Not sure if you looked at the docs, but it is mentioned there in several places)

    For example you want a registration form, but you don’t want it everywhere on restricted pages – nope you can’t do that.?

    If you don’t want the registration form in place of blocked content, you can disable that option in the settings. In fact, you can disable it separately for each post type (so if you wanted it on posts but not pages, or vice versa).

    Maybe these things just weren’t clear from the interface or docs and I’ll take a look at things and review to see if we can make them more obvious for future users.
