WP eMember – Can I have two free levels for my members?

[egstrup]

A question I have.

I have these levels:

2 Free

3 Paid

4 Paid

Can I have a level 5 as free? or both level 2 and 5 as free?

[wzp]

Yes.

Thanks

After trying, it brings a new question.

The [wp_eMember_registration] bring not the same input fields as [wp_eMember_registration_form_for level=5].

[wp_eMember_registration] gives: Name and two times email address, and [wp_eMember_registration_form_for level=5] gives: Username, Password and Email address?

You mostly likely have enabled the “Free Members Must Confirm Email Address” option in the plugin settings. Which is why the main registration shortcode is showing the fields according to your email confirmation settings.

The shortcode explained in the following documentation doesn’t care about anything else. It simply allows you to put a registration form for whatever level you specify in the shortcode:

So in reality I can’t have two free and independent levels.

You can have as many free levels as you want. A free level is something that you give for free (meaning a user can signup to it WITHOUT having to pay for it).

You can use the following shortcode to offer as many of your levels as free as you want:

Don’t confuse that with the standard registration process. The standard registration process is designed for what most people do in their site.

Lets say you want to offer free access to your levels 2 and 5. You put the following two shortcodes on TWO NEWLY created pages:

[wp_eMember_registration_form_for level=2]

[wp_eMember_registration_form_for level=5]

Then, tell users to go to those pages and signup for free. Anyone who wants to signup to levels 2 or 5 should go to these new registration pages that you created (not the standard registration page that the plugin creates).

Have you created separated pages and put the above mentioned shortcode there? Does that not allow a user to register directly to that level for free (without paying)?

[egstrup]

Okay, this way people are registered right away, there is no e-mail verification, if I understand my settings right. Is there a way to have e-mail verification?

[admin]

No, it doesn’t have option to do email verification. It directly lets them register to that level (that you specify).

You could maybe use the manual membership approval feature if you wanted to screen the registrations.

Thanks.

Wish you would tell this in your videos, it would spare me a lot of investigation and time.

The flexibility & versatility of our plugins, sometimes results in new and surprising usage cases; that were never imagined when the video was made.
