What SureMembers is
SureMembers is a WordPress plugin for protecting website content, managing memberships, and automating access. It can restrict pages, posts, custom post types, categories, taxonomies, complete sites, and individual Gutenberg blocks. Membership rules support roles, multiple memberships per user, priority settings, and automatic access changes when roles change. Content can be released on a calendar date or after a specified period from signup, with multiple drip rules for each membership. SureMembers handles restriction and access, while payment collection can connect through SureCart, SureForms, WooCommerce, or compatible payment plugins. Integrations are also described for LMS and automation tools. The maker says access rules and member management run on the site’s WordPress installation. SureMembers Core is a free WordPress.org plugin required for Pro. Paid plans include priority support and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Annual plans cover one, 10, or 100 sites; listed introductory prices are 69.00, 149.00, and $199 a year.
