 * I need to create a membership level that requires admin approval before the new
   member is allowed access. Can I do that ?

 * Hey there,
 * Yes, you can do that with some custom code. If your levels are free, you could
   just use the [PMPro Check Levels addon](http://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/plugins-on-github/pmpro-check-payment-level/).
   When a user checks out for one of the configured “check” levels, an admin will
   have to manually change their level via the Edit User page once approved.
 * Another option could be to [hook into `pmpro_after_checkout`](http://www.paidmembershipspro.com/hook/pmpro_after_checkout/)
   and immediately remove the level from the user ([pmpro_changeMembershipLevel(0)](https://github.com/strangerstudios/paid-memberships-pro/blob/dev/includes/functions.php#L526)),
   or give them an “awaiting approval” level, so admins will have to manually change
   it.
 * If you need further help, please consider [becoming a PMPro member](http://www.paidmembershipspro.com/pricing/)
   and post on the member support forums.
 * Thanks,
    Jess
