In this tutorial we’re going to learn how to build a membership site with WordPress using the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin. What’s nice about this plugin is that you can create a membership website on an existing site.
This plugin will not disturb what you already have going one. Plus Paid Member Subscriptions works with Elementor; it has 4 different Elementor widgets. It also works with shortcodes, so you can use any page builder or the Gutenberg editor.
The best part is there lots of ways you can restrict content on your site to keep it private for your members, you can even provide members-only discounts for WooCommerce products or have products that only members can buy.
You can integrate payment gateways AND have unlimited membership levels.
