Overview

Maven Member™ is less about membership and more about restricting access to certain areas of your site. While we are planning on payment integration options, the main problem this plugin solves is: do you have sensitive content but don’t need a plugin that takes over your site or requires hours of setup? Bingo!

Documentation is in process and feedback is welcome. You can use the forum or please ask submit any questions or suggestion to [email protected]! Thanks!

Features:

  • Restrict access to posts, pages, and categories
  • Login inline with content rather than using the WP login page
  • Create your own custom registration form
  • Hold new registrations for admin moderation/approval
  • Customizable templates for login and registration
  • Captcha in the registration form
