Let a MemberPress membership decide who can take a course. Sell one membership, and every course linked to it opens for as long as the membership is active. This is a Pro add-on and needs MemberPress (a paid plugin).
1. Install MemberPress first
Install and activate MemberPress before turning on the add-on. Otherwise the switch jumps back and shows Required Plugin MemberPress.
2. Turn on the add-on
Go to Academy LMS → Add-ons, search for MemberPress (under Memberships) and switch it on.
3. Create a membership
Go to MemberPress → Memberships → Add New. Add a title and description, then set:
|
Setting |
Decides |
|
Price |
What the membership costs |
|
Billing Type |
One-time or recurring |
|
Access |
Lifetime, a fixed end date, or a length of time from sign-up |
Publish the membership.
4. Link courses to the membership
Open a course and go to Course Type. Choose MMP (MemberPress), then pick the membership or memberships that unlock it. Save.
The course is now listed as a Membership course instead of showing a price. Link as many courses as you like to one membership.
5. Add a member by hand (optional)
Go to MemberPress → Members → Add New, fill in the user details, pick the Membership and click Create.
How access works
Academy LMS checks MemberPress each time a student opens the course:
