Members
Put a sign-in on your website: serve members-only content, give customers their own account area, and decide exactly who gets through the door.
Members adds a membership layer to your site, and it does two distinct jobs:
Members-only content. Mark any page, post type, individual page section, or menu link as members-only and it's hidden behind sign-in — visitors are politely asked to log in, members sail straight through. Club news, resources, downloads, trade pricing: on the same site as your public pages, but only for the people you choose.
Customer accounts. Members get their own account area under your brand — their details, and (when you use those features) their bookings, class credits and purchases.
And crucially, you decide who can join: open registration where any visitor can sign themselves up, or a closed list where only people you've added can ever sign in.

Audience control runs right through the site — everything defaults to public, and you tighten exactly what you want:
- Whole pages — members-only pages show a sign-in prompt to everyone else
- Post types — make an entire news or resources section private
- Individual sections — mix public and members-only blocks on the same page
- Menu links — members-only links simply don't appear until someone signs in
- Sign-up prompts — mark a link as non-members only and it disappears once they're logged in
No separate "members site" to maintain — it's one site with an audience switch on anything that needs one.
A private account area on your website, under your brand:
- Sign in with a one-time code emailed to them — no passwords to forget
- Keep their own contact details up to date
- With Bookings on: see, cancel or reschedule appointments and classes, check class credits, join waitlists
- With Payments on: memberships and purchases attached to their account
One customer list, fully under your control:
- Choose your door policy — open self-registration (any visitor can join on first verified sign-in) or a closed list (only emails you've added can ever get in)
- Add customers yourself — including phone-only customers who never touch a website
- Notes and your own reference codes on each record
- Duplicate detection so "Bob Smith" doesn't end up in twice
- Privacy-friendly: departed customers can be anonymised rather than deleted, keeping your history intact
The details that matter
Content behind a sign-in
Pages, post sections, individual blocks and menu links can all be members-only — one site, public and private side by side.
You choose who joins
Open registration for community-style sites, or a closed admin-curated list where only your people can sign in. One switch.
Password-free sign-in
Login is a one-time code sent by email — secure, and no passwords to forget, reset, or reuse from somewhere else.
Privacy built in
Anonymisation keeps your records honest when someone leaves: the history stays, the personal details go.
Members — common questions
How do I make something members-only?
Every page, post type, page section and menu link has a "Visible to" setting — everyone, members only, or non-members only. Set it and you're done: members-only pages prompt for sign-in, hidden menu links appear once logged in, and a "Join us" link can vanish for people who already have.
Can anyone sign up, or do I control the list?
Your choice, per site. With self-registration ON, any visitor can sign in with their email and an account is created on their first verified login — right for clubs and communities. With it OFF (the default), only email addresses you've already added as customers can sign in at all — right for closed customer lists and trade portals.
Do customers need passwords?
No — login is a one-time code emailed to them. It keeps the door secure without adding friction for people who visit twice a year.
Is Members useful without bookings?
Absolutely — members-only content is a complete reason on its own: club news, resources, downloads, trade price lists, anything you don't want public. Bookings and payments plug in later if you need them, attaching appointments, credits and purchases to the same accounts.
Can I manage customers who never go online?
Yes — mark them as admin-managed and an email becomes optional; a phone number is enough. You make their bookings and grant their credits from the admin side, and everything is tracked exactly the same.
What happens when someone asks to be deleted?
Anonymise them: personal details are removed while the history stays in your records. Your reports stay accurate and you stay on the right side of data-protection rules.
Complete on its own — better together
Members stands alone as a members-only content system. Add bookings and appointments attach to member accounts, add payments and memberships grant their credits, add invoicing and your regulars are easy to bill.
