It’s pretty great

    I used PMPro as the foundation of the membership system for a major trade organization. I was able to use the built-in hooks to send membership data to their CRM software, it all came together really well.

    My only drawback — the fifth missing star from this review — is that the default HTML in their templates is basically garbage. I built my own front-end templates and wrote a custom plugin to replace them, but even digging through their templates to figure out how the functionality came together… not a good time.

    I hope the next major overhaul of PMPro takes this into account. But don’t let it scare you off from using the plugin; it provides a massive amount of functionality, and it “just works”.

    Oh, also their customer support is ++++

    Thanks for the review Cowboy_X.

    > the default HTML in their templates is basically garbage

    🙂 You’re referring to our checkout form using tables. FWIW, this was standard in WordPress and most WordPress themes 4 or so years ago when it was first built and has stayed the way it is based on the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” rule. Changing the HTML of our forms would affect a lot of people who have built their site and design around them. In my opinion, outside of making the code more palatable for modern designers, there isn’t a strong motivation to change the HTML code. But that could be different for your project or other folks’ projects.

    That said, PMPro is open source and I do believe we’re working with you and others to possibly update the HTML used on the front end to fix with modern standards. We have ideas around how we can slowly introduce new frontend code/etc to ensure backward compatibility.

    Thanks again for the review and for using PMPro.
