How to Add Editor and Author Users when using Memberium

When it comes to a membership site, apart from having admin and subscriber users, you might also need to add users with editor and author roles. Editors, for example can help you with managing content on the site and they don’t need to be on the CRM. In this short guide, you’ll learn how you can add editor, author, contributor users to your WordPress site running on Memberium.

Allow Local Logins:

The first thing that you’ll need to do is to enable “Allow Local Logins” from Memberium > Settings > Login page.

Basically this setting will allow non-admin users without matching Infusionsoft contact records to login. Here’s the documentation on Allow Local Logins.

Allowing access to WordPress Dashboard:

You’ll now need to add the proper capabilities (roles) from Memberium > Settings > Site Security.

admin-dashboard

On this page, you’ll need to add the capability that you’d want to give users from “Allow WP Admin Dashboard” box.

For example, you can enter “Edit Posts” and “Edit Pages” capabilities here which will allow the Editor to edit posts and pages. You’d need to manually add all the capabilities that you want to give to your users, and it will only be applied to that particular user role.

Same way, you can also the capability to “Show Titlebar” box to show the WordPress admin bar to only some particular user roles.

Tip: This official WordPress codex is a very good resource to learn about roles and capabilities in detail. To learn how to create custom user role in WordPress, you can check this article.

Nestable Shortcodes

When working with conditional shortcodes it’s often useful to have a series of tests, one after another, where each test determines if the user is qualified to continue to the next test.

Due to a limitation in WordPress’s design, the built-in shortcode system is very fast but it does not know how to count levels of nesting, so it cannot match each opening tag with its correct closing tag. In order to cleanly support this feature while not sacrificing performance, we provide the ability to nest shortcodes by giving each nested group of shortcodes a unique name by adding a number to the end. You can think of this like a Russian Matryoshka doll.
