Legacy WordPress Customers

If you previously installed MemberSpace on your Wordpress site you do NOT need to make any changes. However, there are benefits to switching to our plugin (see below).

MemberSpace Plugin Benefits

Building membership sites on WordPress is even easier with the launch of MemberSpace's new plugin.

With our new WordPress plugin you can:

Easily install MemberSpace (no need to copy and paste the install code)
Implement extra security for Member Pages automatically (no need to manually add extra security code to individual pages)
Access protected pages as a WordPress admin (no login to MemberSpace needed)

In the future, we plan to add more functionality to the plugin e.g. being able to add or remove Member Pages directly in WordPress without having to go to the MemberSpace backend.

If you'd like to install MemberSpace on a new website, you'll no longer find the legacy install code in your MemberSpace backend. Instead, follow the steps in this guide to download and install the plugin on your new site.

Removing the Legacy Install and Extra Security Code

You only need to remove the legacy install and extra security code if you are switching your current site's setup from the legacy install code to the MemberSpace plugin.

Once you've activated the MemberSpace plugin in WordPress, you'll need to remove the legacy MemberSpace install code as well as the Extra Security Code from your WordPress site.

If you added the MemberSpace install code and Extra Security Code via the free plugin we previously recommended ('Header Footer Code Manager' published by 99robots), follow the steps below to disable the plugin.

In your WordPress backend, go to the "Plugins" section in the menu on the left.
Click "Manage plugins" at the top right.
Locate the "Header Footer Code Manager" plugin and click "Deactivate."

If you currently use the "Header Footer Code Manager" plugin to inject non-MemberSpace code into your site, follow the steps below to uncheck all MemberSpace-related code snippets from within the plugin instead of deactivating the plugin itself.

In your WordPress backend, click "HFCM" > "All Snippets" in the menu on the left.
Toggle OFF the switch next to the snippets you created for the MemberSpace install code and Extra Security Code.

If you used a different method to add the MemberSpace install code and Extra Security Code, you'll need to be sure to deactivate or remove the codes from your WordPress backend.
