The Paid Memberships Pro – Email Confirmation Addon is a tool that adds an email confirmation step to your membership site’s registration process. Here’s how it works:
- Email Confirmation Requirement: When a user signs up for a selected membership level on your site, the addon sends a confirmation email to the user’s registered email address. This email contains a validation link.
- Validation Link: In order to verify their membership, the user needs to click on the validation link provided in the confirmation email. This action confirms that the user’s email address is valid and they have access to the specified membership level.
- Active Membership: After completing the email validation process, the user’s membership becomes active. However, they will not have access to members-only content until their email address is validated.
- Manual Validation: As the site admin, you have the ability to manually validate a user through the WordPress dashboard. This can be done by clicking the “Validate User” button, which is available on the Memberships > Members List or Users admin page.
The Email Confirmation Addon is a useful feature for ensuring that the email addresses provided by members during the registration process are valid. It adds an extra layer of verification to your membership site, helping to maintain the integrity of your user database and ensuring that only verified members gain access to exclusive content.
This additional step can be valuable in reducing the likelihood of spam or fake accounts and providing a more secure and reliable membership experience for your users.
