Restrict Content with CoursePress and Membership

Hi @makre,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

I have tested on my test site using page URL in the URL group as following and found it’s working fine without any issue.

https://mysite.com/courses/*

If you want to allow access of courses only to members having membership level (named “PRO”) then have you added the URL Group rule selecting “Course” URL group in it in the positive rules section of membership level (named “PRO”)?

Make sure the user account that you are using to test it has active membership level (named “PRO”).

Kind Regards,

Hi,

I actually made this restriction and it restricts, but I just can’t get it working with my CoursePress plugin. I will try to explain everything as best as I can:

Basically, I want the functionality of the memberships would be similar to Tuts+ where the user can select their plan (it’s monthly, or yearly, or 6 months, whatever) and get access to the course itself.

So in my case, I want to have 1 month subscription and 1 yearly subscription for the courses content.

But I can’t get it working. It seems that I did everything just fine and cannot see any mistakes from my side (which is probably not true).

Here is what I did to achieve this functionality:

1. Created two access levels: yearly and monthly (as well as Visitors, which was created automatically). They didn’t have any rules assigned. Just Visitors has Negative Rule, which is URL Group to my course content.

2. Created two subscription plans: monthly and yearly.

Yearly screenshot – https://postimg.org/image/nebmnqz0r/

3. Of course, I created all the required pages for membership plugin. Please see the screenshot – https://postimg.org/image/wdnu5kls9/ . I also added “Register” page to the Registration field.

Also, in the General tab I set “Visitors” level to “Use membership level” field.

What problems I have right now:

1. I have created “Pricing” page, where it contains Pricing table page, which looks like this: https://postimg.org/image/hsjse17wp/ . When I press one of those buttons, I got redirected to “Home” screen for some reason, either way I have assigned links correctly to those buttons (link looks like this: https://DOMAIN.com/register/?action=registeruser&subscription=7, where “7” is my subscription level ID)

2. Well, basically, I want to make it work correctly as I described earlier. But it doesn’t seem like I it works like it supposed to work.

Anyway, thank you for any responses and help. I really appreciate all the help I get within last weeks with my website. I’m just trying to make a simpliest UX for the User as much as I can. Press subscibe for the plan, make the payment, learn new skills. Thank you guys!

I’m editing this thread.

With the first problem, it seems like everything is OK when a new user comes in and registers (it redirects when the EXISTING user is trying to subscribe again). It redirects to register page, but it’s not what I want. I want that it could redirect to the checkout screen or something. Because now the user click on one of the subscription plan, registers, verifies his email and then he can enroll to the course without paying. I actually set up my oayment gateway as my Paypal Express and entered the email from the SandBox (just for testing).

Either I’m dumb, or very dumb.

Hi @makre,

I hope you’re well today! ??

Could you please let us know what happens to users who get through that registration without paying? What subscription are they given?

And do you have a default subscription setup for users who register?

Also, could you please try testing the access level of your visitor users to ensure they’re not able to access the enrollment link?

Thanks,
David
