Groups 404 Redirect

I know this plugin hasn't been updated in a couple years, but IMHO Groups and its related plugins (like this one) are a hidden gem for WordPress sites. So many people jump to complicated membership plugins when they could do everything they need with Groups. This 404 redirect add-on works like a charm. I'm using it on the latest version of WP 5.x

Perfect.

Redirect 404's when a visitor tries to access a page protected by Groups.

Memberful – Membership Plugin

I've been using Memberful for several years now. One of the things I like about them most is that they're focused on constantly making the service better without constantly adding new features and making it bloated and difficult to use. I use Memberful for my Homeowners Association (HOA) site where all members are free (yes, Memberful supports that!). I also use it for a membership site that requires a subscription to access premium content. It works perfectly for my needs and it's easy to use shortcodes and functions. For example, I use functions on template pages to show and hide certain information depending on if they're logged in or not, and also what level of membership they have. Additionally, it fully integrates with Discourse, which is what I use for my forum. I love this service!

Everything you need!

Sell memberships and restrict access to content with WordPress and Memberful.
