To implement a pay-per-post system in WordPress or integrate with a membership plugin like Membership Pro, here’s a solution:
1. Pay-per-Post System
If you’re looking for a simple way to charge users to access specific posts or pages, you can achieve this with a combination of plugins or custom coding:A. WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions
- You can create a product for each post or a general product for post access.
- Use a WooCommerce extension like WooCommerce Pay Per Post to restrict access to specific posts based on purchases. This is a straightforward solution that works well if you’re already using WooCommerce.
B. Restrict Content Pro
- Another option is using Restrict Content Pro, which allows you to set up membership tiers or individual purchases per post. You can assign specific content to members who purchase access.
2. Membership Pro Integration
For Membership Pro integration, it typically works with user roles and post access:
- You can create custom membership levels in Membership Pro that give users access to specific categories, tags, or individual posts.
- To charge for access, you can assign each post a specific membership tier, and users will only be able to access that post after purchasing a membership.
3. Custom Development
If you need more control over pay-per-post functionality, you can custom code a solution. Here’s an outline:
- Use custom post meta to store payment status.
- Create a purchase button that triggers a payment gateway (like Stripe or PayPal).
- On successful payment, assign a custom user meta or role that grants access to the post.
- Use hooks like
the_content to restrict content until the user has paid.
By integrating these solutions, you can offer either one-time purchases per post or membership-based access. Depending on your requirements, WooCommerce or Restrict Content Pro would be the easiest paths to implement a robust pay-per-post system.
