Adding New Members manually for Membership

ALSO the TEST welcome email to the new Member I added, didn’t arrive to the Member.
What can I check there ?

AND when I look in the WordPress log of email apparently sent to New Member, it doesn’t state WHERE the customer can ADD or reset their new password account.

Therefore as ADMIN, HOW can we have an email sent to the NEW Member with a welcome email with a link to WHERE they go to login in. BUT then they will NOT know their login in the first place as the TEST email (via my email log) as the email is not sending, I see that it reads “Welcome to our Membership” but NO information on their Username or password ?

How can I achieve or FIX this please ?

Thanks Kristin

Hello @kristinubute,

Thank you for using Paid Memberships Pro.

I just need to be able to ADD new members manually for a new Membership that I have added. It allowed me to add with Email address, but NO Full Contact Details & Address & Phone number. We need simple contact details of a Member if we are adding them.

The Add Member From Admin Add On does not allow you to add the address and phone number of account of a member. It will allow to add an email address an user notes.

Do we have to LINK videos via YouTube I assume as uploading whole videos into wordpress can be huge ?

You can upload videos to WordPress, but it can be taxing on the server, so we do recommend linking videos via YouTube is covered here. You can also check out this article to restrict videos via Vimeo.

We need to RESTRICT certain pages ONLY so ONLY those members see it.

You can restrict a specific page by requiring a membership only for that page as mentioned here.

ALSO the TEST welcome email to the new Member I added, didn’t arrive to the Member. What can I check there?

It may be that there is a problem with your server. We have an article to troubleshoot this here.

Make sure that you have the Send the user an email notification to set their password. option enabled.

Thanks for your reply.

So I have added a New Member manually via the Users tab, and then created the Membership for that new User.

That works.
I only have SIMPLE requirement for my Client site for Simple Membership only.
They ONLy have 1 page for MEMBERS to view Videos.
And No payment required.
AND Admin will be ADDING in New Members Manually (so NO registration form).
That’s basically my requirement.

It’s a pity the Paid Plugin is so expensive, as I see there is an Add On screen for backend Admins to ADD New Members manually which is what I need.

But the way I just added a New Member via USERS MENU still works and does the job for now. It has an extra step to Add that User as a MEMBERSHIP, but it will hopefully be OK for the client.

I like how your plugin allows for the Email to be sent to the New Member and allows them to RESET the password etc.
And I like how you have a decent LOGIN page for New Member.

I have a question about the membership-account page that is standard.
It uses the code [pmpro_account] and I see all the details that shows on this page.

There is some information we DON’T need viewed, HOW can I remove some of this information?

* View All Membership Options we need to REMOVE
* And the CANCEL Membership button we need to REMOVE

Is this achievable ? Where do I find the TEMPLATE to edit this please?

Are there shortcodes that can be found, so maybe then I can just create a New Membership Account minus the INFO that I don’t need ?

But I still need the bottom section that says “MY ACCOUNT” that shows the Customers Details, email , Username

AND I still need the bottom section that has “EDIT PROFILE” and “CHANGE PASSWORD” and “LOG OUT”

As my client site ONLY has Members to be added Manually by ADMIN, AND there is NO payment required …I have a question about the Membership Account page that Members are redirected to once they login.

Is there a way to have Members after they login to be redirected to a particular Page like a page I have created called “MEMBERS DASHBOARD”

I have created 1 page and MEMBERS will ONLy have 1 page for now that needs to be REDIRECTED to this page once they Login.

OR How can Members see the Page that is ONLY for them ? I cannot find documentation and am bit confused about this ?

Is this achievable please and HOW can I do this ?
I assumed it would be easy. And I hope the PAID Plugin is NOT required for this feature?

Thanks in advance for your help. I like your plugin.

Thanks
Kristin

AND on the RESTRICTED PAGES, if a Non Member tries to ACCESS them or General public it says “This content is for members only.”

That is fine, but it ONLY has one line and is NOT pretty and it is all squashed up with no padding on margins top and bottom , so I need to fix the FORMATTING of that ..

It looks rather awful!

WHERE do I find the template for this please to fix ?

Thanks
Kristin

Hey Kristin,

Let’s focus on one topic, as we can only work through this adding new members manually topic and no others according to the www.remarpro.com Forum Guidelines. The Add Member From Admin Add On does not allow you to add the address and phone number of account of a member.

Please open a new thread for each new topic.
