Really awesome membership plugin for WordPress

Posted by: Jennifer In: WordPress Plugins

A project I was working on recently required the use of a membership plugin. I had done some research on membership plugins awhile back and remembered only finding ones that were pretty pricey. One last ditch effort searching through the plugin repository on WordPress.org – I found one that I hadn't remembered seeing before: S2Member. This plugin really is packed with features and gives the others a run for their money. If you are in the market for a membership plugin – definitely give this one a try first. (And if you're happy with it, make sure you contribute to it's development. If we all chip in, we all benefit!) (Here's the download page on wordpress.org)

Here's the plugin description taken from the download page:

s2Member is a full-featured membership management system for WordPress®. It provides a very tight integration with PayPal® Subscriptions, and fully supports recurring billing with the ability to track affiliate commissions on a recurring basis. s2Member supports up to 4 different levels of membership with custom labels. It supports custom Pages for signup, account access, and many others. It also supports the ability to protect certain Pages, certain Posts, certain Categories/Tags, certain parts of content, and even includes advanced documentation on how to utilize the PHP runtime constants provided by the s2Member API. s2Member also supports protected file downloads with limitations on the how many files each user ( or each level ) can download in a given period of time.

went through the same process as yourself looking for a membership plugin, but at that stage, 5 months ago, S2 wasn't up to par. had some problems, tried contacting the author, problems there too.
THEN he seems to have come back from vacation? and started workign on the plugin again, also adding it to the wordpress repository…

might give it a second chance to test it…

Yeah, he might have been just been on vacation. I've found the developer to be really helpful and responsive. A lot more so than with other simpler plugins even. He's put a lot of effort into this plugin and it's working great on the site I set it up for.

I admit he's been putting a lot of work into the plugin, again, according to the latest changelogs!
