The definitive wordpress membership solution
PrivateContent is probably the easiest way to create an
users database into your wordpress website. Seamlessly integrated, is based on user categories: then no more basic roles, you can virtually
have unlimited levels!
Each user can be assigned to one or more categories giving you the
maximum flexibility possible, this means
complete freedom in creating simple or complex patterns to properly store them and eventually restrict your site contents.
The plugin has got also some extra features to help you manage users with ease, such as
category filter,
data sorting and an
internal advanced search. Gives also the ability of
deactivate users, to keep them in the database but deactivating accesses to reserved areas.
Finally you can
export user lists in Excel (.xls) or CSV format, or
import them using a CSV file. Very useful for large external databases!
Google Analytics integration
Through your website you can reach millions and create a database of thousands of users. Is hard to understand
what people like though.
PrivateContent, through Google Analytics systems, has got a solution to this: allowing precise reports.
Each pageview, each login, logout, registration (and more, through add-ons) will be registered. You will be able to
know exactly what users see. Also in
real time!
The secret of any successful website is marketing:
start tracking your users now!
Rock-solid restrictions engine
One of main PrivateContent cores is surely
contents restriction. A complete set of tools to satisfy your needs about contents management in relation to users subscription. Here's what you can do:
Private Block
A shortcode allowing you to hide specific page contents on the fly. You can choose to show a warning box or just hide data within. Is also possible to enable a login and a registration button to the lightbox engine, giving users an handy way to join your site.
Contents Hiding
Leave posts
searchable and indexable but hide contents within. Users not matching your restriction parameters will see alternative contents:
- A warning box
- An excerpt of post contents
- An excerpt + warning box
- Custom contents, set globally
- just nothing!
Redirect system
This is the most powerful restriction you can use:
totally removing elements from your website queries. Blocked users won't be even able to reach pages URL and will be redirected to a globally set page. For example, you won't be able to reach this page, unless you are logged!
Lightbox on page's opening
A client-side restriction that must be used to
prompt users doing specific actions such as registering into your website. Once page is loaded, a persistent lightbox is shown on top of everything. Persistent means that can't be removed, neither through web inspectors.
Comments restriction
You can also choose to only lock post comments. Asking for registration a specifi user role!
Menu items restriction
PrivateContent integrates also in your menus: allowing selective menu items restriction directly from the wordpress user interface.
1-click site lock
Need a complete protection? Why lose time. PrivateContent can hide any site content to visitors (search engines included) with just one click!
Widgets restriction
And what about widgets? Yeah, you can restrict also them, always directly in sidebar management's page
Restrictions wizard
But there's even more: to speed up setup,
restriction can be inherited! A restricted category will automatically affect child categories that will affect assigned posts that will affect child posts.
I this way entire areas of your website could be ready in just few seconds. And everything never worrying about who is restricted and who inherits what: a
revolutionary restrictions wizard takes care of reporting current post or term status!
Indeed the most complete restriction toolset you can get today!
Users private page
Each PrivateContent user has got by default an own private page. This true
reserved area is reachable only by him. Plus, using an unique URL makes it really comfortable to be set in redirects: only contents are changed for each user.
This is an essential tool to privately communicate with subscribers and, obviously, you can also decide to disable it.
Wordpress user system sync
PrivateContent users can also be synced with wordpress users. What does it means? A mirror wordpress user will be strictly linked with PrivateContent one: same username, same password, same e-mail.
This turns into a
huge advantage: not only users will be able to login through PrivateContent and Wordpress forms, but also use WP-based systems. From basic thing as
post comments to advanced ones as
WooCommerce!
Also
user private pages take advantages from sync: is now possible to
enable private comments to directly communicate with users.
Everything
without landing on Wordpress admin panel or seeing Wordpress elements.
A true form framework
Any membership system requires regisrtation forms. PrivateContent does more, offering one of the most advanced form frameworks on the market! You'll be not only able to create unlimited registration forms, but do it in the way you prefer.
- Sorting fields
- Adding fields icon and placeholders
- Taking advantage of the HTML5 validation engine
- Inserting contents among fields
- Using a disclaimer for TOS or privacy acceptance
- Setting password strength patterns and lengths
- Taking advantage of honey-pot or reCAPTCHA anti-span systems
- Setting password strength patterns and lengths
- Assigning users to a default category or using the related field
- Exteding available fields through User Data add-on or API
Extreme flexibility also on the
design side: two fully-responsive layouts (one-column and fluid) and
no-label + bottom border options.
Custom skin builder
Plugin comes with
three preset form skins (minimal, light, dark) adapting to any theme, immediately.
But you can also
create your own unique style: using colors, font size and family, setting field borders and padding as well as border radius. Everything directly from an handy user interface and with few clicks.
Login methods
PrivateContent offers you 5 different ways to implement login form into your wordpress theme:
- a built-in widget with an integrated login form and logout box (example in the reserved area)
- Login form and logout box shortcodes
- Lightbox instances
- Any Wordpress login form (requires WP user sync)
- API functions for developers, to integrate it anywhere in your site
100% Multilanguage
PrivateContent is also
completely translatable as well as its add-ons! You will be able to localize everything just creating a .po file or using WPML or also Polylang.
Frontend strings have already been translated (
totally or partially) in
22 languages! (Afrikaans, Argentine, Slovak, Danish, German, Spanish, Persian, French, Croatian, Italian, Georgian, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian, Romanian, Russian, Czech, Swedish, Finnish, Turkish, Norwegian, Estonian)
Dev-oriented API and hooks
PrivateContent is a developer-friendly plugin and has been coded to be
easily extended and customized by developers.
Starting from essential plugin's API to management classes and ending with
dozens of actions and filters. Fit a
membership plugin to your needs could be hard, but not in this case!
Notes
- Please note that synced wordpress user can't access the admin-side of the site. - Exported users can't be re-imported since private page and category IDs vary on each installation - Existing Wordpress users can't be imported directly, since is not possible to know their password
