What the author says it does
The original WordPress membership plugin with content restriction, user login, custom registration fields, user profiles, and more.
Membership Sites. Simplified.
You need a membership site, but you want to focus on your business, not mastering a plugin. WP-Members is simple to use, easy to set up, yet flexible in every way imaginable.
Simple to install and configure – yet customizable and scalable!
Features:
- Restrict or hide posts, pages, and custom post types
- Limit menu items to logged in users
- User login, registration, and profile integrated into your theme
- Create custom registration and profile fields
- Integrate custom fields into WooCommerce checkout and registration (only supported by shortcode pages, not block editor version)
- Create custom memberships and content restriction
- Notify admin of new user registrations
- Hold new registrations for admin approval
- Create post excerpt teaser content automatically
- Shortcodes for login, registration, content restriction, and more
- Create powerful customizations with more than 120 action and filter hooks
- A library of API functions for extensibility
WP-Members allows you to restrict content as restricted or hidden, limiting access to registered users.
A full Users Guide is available here. The guide outlines the installation process, and also documents how to use all of the settings.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
