Lite includes permanent free functionality: * Front-end member registration. * Front-end login. * Simple member account dashboard. * A dedicated MemberQube Member role. * Whole-page/post content protection for MemberQube members and editors, with protected excerpts and standard REST responses. * A members-only shortcode for protecting part of a page. * Automatic Join, Member Login, Member Account, and MemberQube Plans pages. * Beginner-friendly setup guidance in WordPress admin. * Profile display-name editing. * Safe uninstall preference that never deletes WordPress user accounts automatically. MemberQube Lite is intended to remain useful without a paid upgrade. Optional premium add-ons may be offered separately outside WordPress.org for advanced functionality such as additional membership levels, automations, analytics, reporting, or business workflows. Premium code is not included in the Lite package. The MemberQube Plans page is an informational comparison page. Site administrators can optionally enter their own Pro and Business price labels and external details/ purchase URLs under MemberQube > Plans & Upgrades. If those fields are left blank, the public page clearly says that pricing or details are coming soon and does not force visitors to an external site. MemberQube Lite does not track users, send telemetry, or require an external service for its core functionality. ### Privacy MemberQube Lite does not send telemetry or tracking data to an external service. Registration data is stored using the standard WordPress user system on the site where the plugin is installed. If a site administrator chooses to configure an external Pro or Business details/ purchase URL, a visitor who intentionally clicks that link will leave the WordPress site and visit the configured destination. MemberQube Lite does not automatically transmit registration or membership data to that destination. Optional product and Help links behave the same way. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install the ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. Activate MemberQube Lite. 3. Open MemberQube in the WordPress admin area. 4. Enable WordPress registration under Settings > General > Membership if you want visitors to create accounts. 5. Add the automatically created Join, Member Login, and Member Account pages to your navigation. 6. MemberQube members and site editors can view protected content. Other WordPress roles do not automatically receive MemberQube access. 7. Edit a post or page and enable MemberQube Access > Members only to protect the entire content. 8. Or use `[memberqube_members_only]Private content[/memberqube_members_only]` to protect only part of a page. 9. Open MemberQube > Plans & Upgrades to preview the optional public plans page and add Pro/Business price labels or links if desired. ## FAQ ### Is MemberQube Lite a trial? No. Lite functionality does not expire and is not disabled after a quota or time period. ### Does Lite require a paid service? No. Core Lite features run on your WordPress site. ### Are Pro or Business features hidden inside Lite? No. Paid editions are separate products. MemberQube Lite does not bundle paid functionality and lock it behind a license key. ### Does the plans page force visitors to buy something? No. It is an informational comparison page. If an administrator has not configured a paid-plan URL, the paid-plan button is shown as unavailable instead of redirecting the visitor. ### Can I change the paid plan prices or links? Yes. Administrators can use MemberQube > Plans & Upgrades. The fields are optional so you can publish accurate pricing only when it is finalized. ### Does the plugin delete users when removed? No. WordPress user accounts are never automatically deleted. An optional setting can remove MemberQube Lite plugin options and its custom role during uninstall. ### Can I protect only part of a page? Yes. Wrap selected content in the `[memberqube_members_only]` shortcode. ### Can I protect an entire post or page? Yes. Use the MemberQube Access box in the editor. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MemberQube Lite” is open source software.
