MemberPress Registration Restrictions

Overview

This add-on is intended for membership sites that need more selective enrollment than a standard registration form provides. It can support scenarios such as employee-only training, student access based on email domains, age-gated communities, or memberships with limited capacity. Rules for IP addresses, email domains, and email addresses can work as either allowlists or blocklists, while custom error messages can explain why a visitor cannot continue. Configuration is distributed across MemberPress settings, individual memberships, coupons, and—where corporate accounts are enabled—subaccount management, so administrators should map rule precedence before publishing a restriction. The documentation states that membership-level restrictions override global rules, while coupon restrictions override both membership and global settings. Test registration, checkout, renewal, corporate subaccount, and proxy or shared-network scenarios on staging before enabling the add-on on a live site.

Compatibility and setup context

• Requires the MemberPress membership plugin and its registration flow; it is an add-on rather than a standalone membership system.
• MemberPress documentation lists the add-on as available to Growth and Scale plan members.
• Global restrictions are managed in MemberPress settings, while membership-specific rules are configured from a membership’s Permissions area.
• Maximum active-registration limits apply per membership only.
• Coupon restrictions cover email domains and email addresses and take precedence over global and membership restrictions when a restricted coupon is used.
