Sure thing, Bojan!
The plugin has an automated email feature: it sends emails to members for various reasons. The default templates for these mails are very basic, lacking really any design. It would be nice if the default templates were nice HTML emails. As well, the plugin can send automated emails that are specific to each membership level. This is actually a super useful and really cool feature, but I only found it by accident, because that feature is not accessible from Membership 2 > Settings > Automated Email Templates, but only from each membership level’s page under Membership 2 > Memberships.
While we’re on the subject, I think the plugin’s many features need a bit of organizing in the back end. For example, there’s no way right now to protect individual media files from the wordpress media library or media editors, only from the Membership 2 > Protected Content menu.
There are a number of places where plugin URLs would benefit from pretty permalinks, for example domain.com/?membership_id=686 could just as easily be domain.com/membership-level-slug/join/
Mailchimp integration allows you do add members to mailchimp lists. A great start, but how about adding members to mailchimp groups within lists? I’d love to send out automated emails from my membership site via mailchimp, how about that?
Media protection relies on url redirection e.g. domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/media.mp3 > domain.com/downloads/ms_1102.mp3. Could protection be accomplished without rewriting URLs?
There are a number of places where shortcode output is hard coded and difficult to adjust. For example: There’s no way I know of right now to add a message before the coupon code on the checkout screen. There are hooks to change the way some parts of checkout look, which is great, but could be better – part of settings in the admin side. The UX for signing up, changing and cancelling memberships is in places complicated and hard to understand. To cancel a membership, right now my users have to scroll through a page which lists ALL available memberships, and that list doesn’t appear by default on their account page. The account page should show a user’s current memberships and it should be obvious to even non-technical users how to cancel or change their information. Finer-grained shortcodes for registration, account, billing, membership levels and more would alleviate this problem somewhat at least by allowing designers to construct their own pages. However the default pages should be polished and then some.
All in all the features are there but turning those features into a website that people actually want to use is another story.
Thanks for your consideration,
