Dovetail adds basic yet beautiful membership tools to your WordPress website. Our intention with Dovetail was to create a membership plugin which stayed as close to the “WordPress Way” as possible, whilst also being extendable and powerful. Think WooCommerce for membership.
Our idea is that Dovetail should compliment other plugins rather than just blindly copy their functionality (otherwise, why have plugins?) Want customised login screens? Install the excellent <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/" rel="ugc">“Theme My Login”</a>. Customised signup? <a href="http://www.gravityforms.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Gravity Forms</a> with the <a href="http://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/user-registration/" rel="nofollow ugc">User Registration</a> add on. And so on.
Right now Dovetail’s fairly new, so there aren’t any payment gateways. We’re working on a PayPal one though with a view to eventually allow others to develop and payment gateway they choose and bolt it on.
Dovetail’s been lovingly crafted by <a href="https://rigorous-digital.co.uk" rel="nofollow ugc">Rigorous</a> & <a href="http://factorypattern.co.uk" rel="nofollow ugc">Factory Pattern</a> in the UK to service our clients’ membership needs; it was forged in the fire of client projects and tested in the often harsh real world. Install it, try it and let us know your ideas; we’re all ears.

Now with shortcodes and post/custom-post-type support, as well as a comprehensive admin interface for setting plugin defaults
WordPress Access Control is a plugin designed to integrate into membership sites where certain pages, posts and custom post types should only be available to members of the site. The plugin offers fine tuned features for this purpose, including the ability to set site wide defaults and override these on a per-page basis.
You can easily set a page to be accessible only by members of your site, or even a specific role. You can also set pages to be accessible only to non-members of your site, useful for registration pages.
By default, you can add Members only pages to your menus, and users who cannot access them (non-members) won’t be able to see them. This applys to the children of a menu item as well, making it easy to build a separate menu for your members.
Additionally, you have the ability to customize search pages, completely hiding posts/pages from search results if a user can’t access them, showing search results without an excerpt, or showing search results normally.
New Features in 4.0
Enhanced theme compatiblity! We now have a much smaller impact on sites due to a new way of implementing our nav walker code. This should significantly improve compatability with third party themes.
New Features in 3.1
<ul>
<li>You can add member only versions of each menu on your site (Only when using WordPress menus)</li>
<li>You can make certain widgets only visible to members or non-members.</li>
</ul>
Translators: The POT file is included with the plugin and all text output uses gettext functions. Alternatively, you may download the POT file from http://brandonwamboldt.ca/files/wordpress-access-control.pot.
Documentation: The plugin includes comprehensive documentation file accessible via the plugin directory
