Wishlist Member Plugins

This How To question comes from Jerry who wants to know if there is a way for members to add or upgrade themselves to other membership levels on their own.

Jerry’s Question:

“I am a fitness coach and I’ve created an online course with 12 levels, every level contains a higher difficulty level of training. I want members to be able to add themselves to a higher level on their own by clicking a link. Is there a way to do that?”

How to Allow Members to Add / Upgrade to Other Levels in 1-Click:

Answer:

Wishlist Smart Shortcodes allows you to easily create an upgrade button using a simple shortcode, so members can add themselves to the specified membership level simply by clicking a link.

Just add the shortcode to the relevant post or page, specify the relevant membership levels and that’s it. You can also add a parameter for the upgrade button text.

Now when a member will click on the link he’ll be added to the relevant membership level automatically. This shortcode is part of the Protection Add-On that includes a total of 8 different shortcodes.

You can also display members the list of all the content they have access to according to their membership level by using the shortcode shown on the screen.

This shortcode is part of the Content add-on. Wishlist Smart Shortcodes plugin and add-ons include 32 powerful shortcodes that display different types of information about your membership site.

This How To question comes from Tim, who wants to know if it is possible to display a list of all the posts every member has access to, and have the list update automatically whenever new content is released.

Tim’s Question:

“I am selling protected content using Wishlist Member’s pay-per-post feature and I wanted to know if there is a way to show each member a list of all the posts he has access to.”

Displaying Members All the Posts they Can Access Automatically:

Answer:

Using Wishlist Smart Shortcodes you can display a list of all the posts accessible per member using a simple shortcode. Just add the shortcode to any post or page and save.

You can also add different parameters to the shortcode, for example: payperpost parameter to display posts protected under the pay-per-post feature and display_excerpt parameter to also display a short excerpt of each post. There are also two other shortcodes for displaying a list of all the pages or categories per member.

Every time a member will access that page he’ll see all the posts according to his membership level. These shortcodes are part of the Members Add-On.

Wishlist Smart Shortcodes includes 32 powerful shortcodes that display different types of information.

This How to Question comes from Jay and it is about archiving protected content after x number of days:

“How can I show certain content to members and hide it after a period of time? I want to allow my free members access to some of my paid content, but only for a few days so they’ll see the quality of my paid content and want to upgrade their membership.”

Archiving Content on Your Wishlist Membership Site:

Answer:

Using Wishlist Drip Dynamic Shortcodes you can hide / archive any piece of content after any number of days using a simple shortcode.

Simply add the shortcode to any post or page and specify the relevant parameters: membership levels and number of days.

You can even add a message that will notify members until when they have access to that content using the “message” parameter. Now add your content inside the shortcode and save.

As you can see in the video, I’ve created a Free member that now has access to my premium content. below the content you can see the message created by the plugin that notifies when the content will no longer be available.

The shortcodes and parameters can be found in the plugin’s menu under the dashboard tab, plus you’ll find detailed information in the manual and documentation.

Shortcodes can help you stylize your website, add different functions (such as: tabs, tables, toggles, highlights, boxes etc.).

There are two main options to adding shortcodes to your website:

1. Using a theme that has built-in shortcodes, for example: Headlines, Avada, OptimizePress 1.0 etc.
2. Installing a stand-alone plugin such as: Shortcodes Ultimate

We personally have a “love-hate relationship” with shortcodes:

We love shortcodes because because they can really help improve users experience, the website’s look and feel and organize the content better.

We “hate” shortcodes because they can make the posts look messy if you use too many shortcodes in one post / page.

Using a Theme’s Shortcodes

The main downside of using a theme’s shortcodes is that it makes it more complicated to shift to a new theme if your content is wrapped with a lot of shortcodes, unless you are using a theme from the same company that supports the same shortcodes.

Just think about going over all the posts and pages of your website and changing their design and structure all over again…

Using a Stand-Alone Shortcodes Plugin

For the exact reason above we chose to work with a stand-alone plugin instead of relying on the theme’s built-in shortcodes.

We haven’t found any major downsides to using a stand-alone plugin, but there are two you might consider:

1. If you don’t want to have too many plugins installed (though one more plugin won’t really make such a difference…)
2. You are using a plugin that does not update on a regular and frequent basis. The WordPress platform releases frequent updates, so make sure you choose a popular plugin that has frequent updates, we recommend using Shortcodes Ultimate.

Here is a screenshot of Shortcodes Ultimate available shortcodes (enter a post and click on the “Insert Shortcode” button above the toolbar):
