membership 2 pro custom forms and usage

Hi,

Boy have we come a long way with our project. Everything is really working well now. However I am curious if you can lend a little more insight so we can take this to the finish line.

Can you provide more of an insiders secrets and techniques for using Membership 2 Pro with the add ons in such a way that explains in more fullness how to manipulate both pages to display subscription specific content with short codes as well as an interactive menu so that subscribers to Brand Membership both see specific content on the home page AND see specific menu items + alternative menu items and alternative page content for Creators and lastly for the non logged in public, a third option. 70% of menus will be the same for all three, but others will be specific.

Secondly, is there an advanced user guide on how to achieve total flexibility of signing up users with short codes and URLs for custom buttons? The activation of a sub site within the network based on a subscription plan would be a great tutorial to find somewhere.

We’d like to capture unique information about subscribers, so customizing the form and or using gravity forms as an option to streamline the process.

Thanks guys. As you can see this very ambitious project is coming together and will be a good showcase / success story for wpmudev too.

Couldn’t do this without you!

    Hey Laura,

    It’s nice to hear your project is going in right direction :slight_smile:

    I must say that I’m not 100% clear about your question but I’ll do my best so if I miss anything please let me know.

    About the shortcodes for protecting certain areas on your page, what you want to do is use [ms-protect-content] shortcode in a way that you will wrap certain content for different memberships, here is an example:

    [ms-protect-content id="2,3" silent="yes"]
    
This content will show for memberships with ID's 2 and 3, and it will show no notification for other members that there is protected content here.
    
[/ms-protect-content]
    

    
[ms-protect-content id="1"]
    
This content will show for membership with ID 1 and for other memberships it will show notification that they need that membership in order to see protected content.
    
[/ms-protect-content]

    For menu protection simply go to Membership 2 > Protection Rules > Menu Items and for your selected menu select which membership will see which menu item, you can add multiple memberships to single menu item.

    Secondly, is there an advanced user guide on how to achieve total flexibility of signing up users with short codes and URLs for custom buttons?

    Creating a subscribe button using the shortcode is quite easy, all you need to do is add this shortcode:

    [ms-membership-buy id="5" label="Subscribe"]

    It will create Subscribe link to membership with ID 5 anywhere you place it, after that you can adjust the link with some CSS to like like button, this is quite easy and we can help you with this if you need it :slight_smile:

    The activation of a sub site within the network based on a subscription plan would be a great tutorial to find somewhere.

    Can you please elaborate this a bit more, what exactly is the registration process you are looking for?

    We’d like to capture unique information about subscribers, so customizing the form and or using gravity forms as an option to streamline the process.

    Maybe this thread will help you with this part:

    Let me know if you have any other questions :slight_smile:

    Best regards,
