Other helpful plugins
↑ Back to top- WooCommerce Social Login lets you display social login buttons on restricted content notifications to make login seamless.
- Nav Menu Roles Bridge (free): The free Nav Menu Roles plugin lets you customize who can see which menu items based on user roles. This plugin adds a bridge to also let you restrict menu items based on membership plan, too.
- Gifting for WooCommerce Subscriptions ($49): If you want to sell group memberships, check out Teams for Memberships. If you sell recurring memberships with the Subscriptions plugin and you want someone to “gift” a membership to another, you can use this add-on to allow subscription gifting. Here’s a tutorial on creating gift subscriptions.
- Memberships CLI Import (free) This is a community plugin to add CSV import support via CLI, letting developers import members via the command line without timeouts.
- Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce (paid) This is a third-party plugin with a Memberships integration, letting you restrict coupon usage based on membership plan.
Incompatible plugins & themes
↑ Back to top- WP Ultimate Recipe: Recipes cannot be restricted by Memberships by default. Here is a snippet you can use at your own risk.
- Porto theme: The Porto theme is not compatible with WooCommerce. It incorrectly uses the
get_{$adjacent}_post_where
filter, which is a WordPress core filter. As a result, Porto breaks plugins that use this core WordPress hook such as WooCommerce and WooCommerce Memberships, and is not supported.
Privacy & GDPR
↑ Back to topYou must be using WordPress 4.9.6 or newer and WooCommerce 3.4 or newer to use these tools.
When a personal data export request is confirmed and processed, Memberships will automatically add membership information after WooCommerce orders in this export file.

Troubleshooting
↑ Back to top- Issues with content dripping or membership events? Memberships can act in unexpected ways with some server or site timezone settings, especially with other plugins like Sensei.
For best results, the WordPress timezone under Settings > General should be a location-based timezone, rather than a UTC offset (for example, “USA: New York” instead of “UTC-4”).
- Emails not sending? Please ensure they’re enabled under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.
- Not seeing email content settings for your plan? Please look at the email settings themselves under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails to ensure they’re enabled. If all emails are disabled (as they are by default), email content won’t be shown for the plan.
- If your members have trouble renewing, please ensure that your membership product is purchasable — if non-members cannot purchase, expired members cannot purchase either.
- Content restrictions not working as expected? First, check your permalinks settings to ensure that you’re not using plain permalinks. Plain permalinks are not supported by WooCommerce Memberships. Also, caching or optimization plugins can sometimes cause content restrictions to appear as though they are not working. Temporarily disabling these types of plugins to see if the issue disappears can help you determine if this might be the cause. If so, many of these plugins will allow you to exclude certain pages from caching, so you may be able to exclude your memberships content to resolve this issue.
