Free WP-Membership Plugin

Protect your content with Levels. Levels can protect Posts, Pages and Categories.
Levels are not sequential, they are more like groups.
Currently the Payment gateways are non-functional due to stripping out the copy-protection during the open sourcing process.
These will be restored over time, including: PayPal, Authorize.net and Google Checkout.

The primary repository for Free WP-Membership is at GitHub.
The project home page is at Free WP-Membership.

Minimum Requirements

• PHP 5.3.0
• Curl (Used to update News & Info)
• Simple Xml
• MySql 5
• To Be Determined

Simply unpack in the wp-content/plugins folder. Then go to Settings->WP-Membership and configure the plug-in to match your taste.

Where did this come from?

Synergy Software Group LLC (now out of business) open-sourced their commercial WordPress plugin WP-Membership 1.1.3. This plugin is based on that original source tree. (Thus why it starts on version 1.1.4)

When is feature “X” going to be done?

I work on Free WP-Membership as time permits, so the best answer I can give is “When it’s done”. With that said it is open source and you can contribute to it. To do so simply fork the project on GitHub and submit a pull request with your changes.
Now while I don’t have any specific dates things will be done, I am keeping a current list of the sequence things are planned to be done at Issues and GitHub.
