eMember – Multiple free memberships levels with secondary level

[zoelana]

We’ve created 2 free membership levels and secondary membership has been enabled in settings.

Once the user is registered to the first they are redirected to a second page with member info plus a link to sign up to a second member level. When the second registration form is filled out using the details used in the first registration, it fails because it says that the username and email has been used already.

Latest versions of WP and plugin are being used.

You can assign as many levels to a member as you want but the registration can only happen once. So an existing member doesn’t need to register again. You can’t ask existing users to register again and again by filling in the form (thats not good design).

Usually a member will make a payment for the other membership level. When the member makes a payment, the plugin will assign the newly paid level to his/her profile (no registration form filling necessary).

In your case you want to give that other level for free too. So use the following shortcode on a page and tell your existing users to click the button to add the level to their profile:

[wp_eMember_upgrade_membership_level_to level=2]

2 is the other free membership level ID in the above example.

Here is an alternative… If you are actually giving the users access to 2 free levels then whey not combine them and just make 1 level? Or Create a 3rd level that has all the access for level 1 and 2 then give user access to that level.
