Membership – Upgrades without Supporter/MU possible?

Hi, I have just a plain WordPress site, no multisite/BuddyPress. How to offer users membership upgrades? Supporter only installs on multisite, and my site is a plain vanilla WP.

    I have the Membership plugin :slight_smile: I want to give my users upgrade options from one Subscription plan to another. It seems that Supporter plugin provides that functionality, but it’s only for multisite, not for regular WordPress.

    Hi kashlik,

    Supporter’s upgrades are relevant to blogs so they wouldn’t really be applicable to a regular WordPress site. Membership can be used to provide upgrade-type functionality via membership levels that have extended privileges. What types of things do you have in mind as far as upgrades though?

    David:

    Thanks, say I have Levels Bronze, Silver and Gold. My user signs up for Bronze. I want to keep reminding him about upgrade options (Silver / Gold), and if he chooses, let him upgrade. Are there any shortcodes/ways to do that?

    Actually, wrong: my user signs up for Bronze *subscription* (with level Bronze). I want to keep reminding him to upgrade to Silver/Gold subscriptions (with respective levels). And if he chooses: let him upgrade. Any shortcodes? How’s it done?

    [accountform] and [renewform] are what you are looking for – put them on the page you specify as the account page (see the Account page area of the Membership Options panel in your admin area for more details).

    Barry:

    I have these codes. All that [renewform] says:

    You are currently on the subscription : Bronze

    Your membership is set to automatically renew

    It’d be nice to have something like what CBSUBS with Community Builder for Joomla has: their components *suggests* membership upgrade options (it even calculates prorated price) and generates an “Upgrade” button. That’s what I meant. Any wayt to achieve it?

    Hi kashlik,

    That type of functionality would require a bit of custom coding at this point, though it’s made far easier with all the included filters in Membership and I’ll gladly point those out if you’re interested in throwing something together like that yourself.

    You might also consider posting a feature request on that to the feature suggestion forum as well.

    And if you’re not familiar with coding yourself, you might consider posting to the job board on this.
