Hello! It sounds like you have a detailed setup for managing both free content and premium membership on your site. To achieve your goals, I’d recommend breaking this down into a few steps while keeping things as lightweight as possible.

1. Registration and Terms for Free Content: For the first two pages (free tools and resources), you can create a simple registration form with a terms and conditions checkbox. You can use a plugin like WPForms or Ninja Forms for this. They are lightweight and allow you to create custom forms with terms and conditions checkboxes easily. You can restrict access to these two pages using any lightweight visibility plugin you’re already using.
2. Membership for Premium Content: For the private community and other subscription-based content, I’d suggest using a membership plugin like Paid Memberships Pro or Restrict Content Pro. These plugins let you set up a tiered membership model. Since you’re already keeping things lightweight, these are well-suited as they don’t overload your site with unnecessary features.
3. Separation of Registration vs. Subscription: Instead of doing everything in one step during registration, you can offer an upgrade path after users have registered for the free content. Once users sign up for the free sections, you can offer them an option to upgrade to the premium membership via a dedicated subscription page.

For a smooth experience, it’s important to manage user roles effectively. Both Paid Memberships Pro and Restrict Content Pro allow you to assign roles based on membership tiers, ensuring that users get access to the right content after upgrading.

I recently explored a similar concept while working on this site SSO ID Registration, where we manage user registrations and restrict content based on user roles.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need more detailed plugin recommendations or further assistance with the setup.
