Members – Editor-Plugin für Mitgliedschaften & Benutzerrollen

Beschreibung

Members ist ein auf Rollen und Berechtigungen basierendes WordPress-Plugin für Mitgliedschaften. Es bietet deinen Benutzern das ultimative Mitgliedererlebnis. Denn es stellt dir leistungsstarke Werkzeuge zur Verfügung, um Rollen und Berechtigungen hinzuzufügen und sie deinen Benutzern zuzuweisen.

Mit Members kannst du Berechtigungen festlegen, um Inhalte auf deiner Website einzuschränken, indem du eine einfache Benutzeroberfläche (UI) für das leistungsstarke Rollen- und Berechtigungssystem von WordPress bereitstellst, das bisher nur Entwicklern zur Verfügung stand, die wissen, wie man es von Hand programmiert.

Plugin Eigenschaften

  • Rolleneditor: Ermöglicht dir, Rollen zu bearbeiten, zu erstellen und zu löschen sowie Berechtigungen für diese Rollen festzulegen.
  • Mehrere Benutzerrollen: Weise jedem Benutzer eine, zwei oder sogar mehr Rollen zu.
  • Berechtigungen explizit verweigern: Verweigere bestimmte Berechtigungen für bestimmte Benutzerrollen.
  • Rollen duplizieren: Erstelle eine neue Rolle auf Basis einer existierenden Rolle.
  • Berechtigungen für Inhalte / Eingeschränkte Inhalte: Schütze Inhalte, um festzulegen, welche Benutzer (nach Rolle) Zugriff auf Beitragsinhalte haben.
  • Shortcodes: Shortcodes, um zu kontrollieren, wer Zugang zu den Inhalten hat.
  • Widgets: Ein Anmeldeformular-Widget und ein Benutzer-Widget, die in den Seitenleisten deines Themes angezeigt werden.
  • Private Website: Wenn du willst, kannst du deine Website und ihren Feed komplett privat machen.
  • Administrator Rescue (Magic Link): If you lose access to the WordPress admin (e.g. after editing roles), you can request a secure, time-limited link by email to restore your Administrator role and Members capabilities—no support ticket or database access required.
  • Plugin-Integration: Members wird von anderen WordPress-Entwicklern gern empfohlen. Viele bestehende Plugins integrieren ihre individuellen Rollen und Berechtigungen direkt in dieses Plugin.

Nahtlose Integration mit MemberPress

FAQ

Warum wurde dieses Plugin entwickelt?

We weren’t satisfied with the current user, role, and permissions plugins available. Yes, some of them are good, but nothing fit what we had in mind perfectly. Some offered few features. Some worked completely outside of the WordPress APIs. Others lacked the GPL license.

So, we just built something we actually enjoyed using.

What’s the difference between Members and MemberPress?

Members and MemberPress solve different problems and are designed to work together.

Members is a free roles and capabilities plugin. It gives you a UI on top of WordPress‘ native roles and capabilities system so you can create and edit roles, assign multiple roles to users, and restrict content by role or capability. It’s the right tool when you need to control who can do what inside your site—dashboard access, content permissions, and capability management—without charging for access.

MemberPress is a premium, all-in-one WordPress membership platform built for monetization and much more. In addition to paid subscriptions, payment processing (Stripe, PayPal, and more), recurring billing, coupons, and drip content, MemberPress also includes:

  • Courses — a built-in LMS for creating and selling online courses with lessons, quizzes, and progress tracking.
  • CoachKit — tools for running coaching programs, including milestones, habits, and client check-ins.
  • Community Groups — private member communities and discussion spaces tied to your memberships.
  • Member Profiles & Directories — customizable front-end profiles and searchable member directories.
  • Email marketing integrations, affiliate program support, and many more premium features.

It’s the right tool when you need to sell access to content, courses, coaching, or communities—and grow a full membership business around it.

The two plugins are complementary, not competing. Many sites use Members for fine-grained role and capability management alongside MemberPress for everything membership-business related. For a full side-by-side comparison, see Members vs MemberPress.

Wie benutze ich es?

Most things should be fairly straightforward, but you can also view the docs online.

PHP-Mindestanforderungen.

Members erfordert jetzt PHP 7.4 oder höher

Ich kann auf die Verwaltung der Rollen nicht zugreifen.

When the plugin is first activated, it runs a script that sets specific capabilities to the „Administrator“ role on your site that grants you access to this feature. So, you must be logged in with the administrator account to access the role manager.

Wenn du aus irgendeinem Grund die Rolle des Administrators hast und immer noch nicht auf den Rollenmanager zugreifen kannst, deaktiviere das Plugin. Aktiviere es anschließend erneut.

Warum können Administratoren auf Multisites keine Rollen verwalten?

If you have a multisite installation, only Super Admins can create, edit, and delete roles by default. This is a security measure to make sure that you absolutely trust sub-site admins to make these types of changes to roles. If you’re certain you want to allow this, add the Create Roles (create_roles), Edit Roles (edit_roles), and/or Delete Roles (delete_roles) capabilities to the role on each sub-site where you want to allow this.

How do I use Administrator Rescue (Magic Link) if I’m locked out?

If you can no longer access the WordPress admin (for example, after changing your role or capabilities), you can restore your Administrator access yourself:

  1. Go to your site’s login page: yoursite.com/wp-login.php
  2. In the address bar, add ?action=members_rescue so the URL is: yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=members_rescue
  3. Enter the email address of an account that has (or had) the built-in Administrator role, or is a Super Admin (multisite).
  4. Click „Send Rescue Link“. If that account is eligible, a secure link will be sent to that email (you may need to check spam).
  5. Open the link from the email within 15 minutes. Your Administrator role and Members capabilities will be restored, and you’ll be redirected to the login page to sign in.

Only users with the built-in WordPress „Administrator“ role (or Super Admins on multisite) can use this feature; custom or cloned roles are not eligible. The link expires after 15 minutes and is limited to a few attempts per IP to prevent abuse.

Hilfe! Ich habe mich aus meiner Seite ausgesperrt!

Please read the documentation for the plugin before actually using it, especially a plugin that controls permissions for your site. We cannot stress this enough. This is a powerful plugin that allows you to make direct changes to roles and capabilities in the database.

If you have the built-in Administrator role (or are a Super Admin on multisite) but lost access to the admin (e.g. after editing roles), try the Administrator Rescue (Magic Link) first: go to yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=members_rescue, enter your admin email, and use the link we send you to restore access.

If that doesn’t apply or didn’t work, stop by our support forums to see if we can help. Your web host may also be able to restore your site from a recent backup, but we only recommend that as a last resort, as it could mean losing work or members added since the backup.
