Finally, after interminable stays of execution, I can announce that YourMembers, the odious membership plugin that has been the bane of my life, will have its life support turned off in the next couple of days. This should have happened earlier but my software suppliers weren’t able to fit it in before due to unexpected commitments. The changeover should mean the end of the frustrations with messages saying your email is already registered and my having to manually activate memberships or upgrades. You will also find access easier as there will be a single simple login and the option to subscribe to the newsletter.
Non-members will have unrestricted access to the existing WordPress front-end and access to free content in the members area but this only represents a tiny fraction of what is available to Full members. who have no restrictions.
