Paid Memberships Pro – Member RSS Add On 0.3
Wordpress Plugins PaidMembershipPro 4.8 (4.4K reviews)
The Paid Memberships Pro Member RSS Add On is a WordPress plugin extension for creating private RSS feeds for your members. Standard RSS feeds are public, so anyone with the link can subscribe. This add-on instead generates individual, token-protected feed URLs. A member must be logged in and use their own unique token to access the feed, keeping the content within your paying audience. It integrates with Paid Memberships Pro, so your existing membership levels, account pages, and user management continue to work as expected. For site owners publishing articles, news, or ongoing series, this provides a straightforward way to distribute premium material without exposing it to non-subscribers. Members can subscribe to their private feed in any standard RSS reader, making it a convenient alternative to email newsletters or repeated site logins. You decide which posts appear in the feed, and you can change those rules at any time.
With this add-on, you control which posts appear in each feed. You can filter by post type, category, or tag, and you can restrict an entire feed to a specific membership level. That means a free subscriber might get one set of posts while a premium member gets a fuller feed with serialized content or behind-the-scenes updates. Paid Memberships Pro's existing data structures are put to use, so the plugin does not add extra database tables to your site. Admins can set global feed options in the Paid Memberships Pro settings area, then create individual rules for each feed. To place a feed link somewhere visible, you can use the provided shortcodes on any page or post. Members will also find their unique RSS link on their account page. If a token gets compromised, you can revoke or regenerate it from the admin area. That gives you a clear way to manage access without recreating feeds from scratch.
Private feeds are useful in several common scenarios. A membership site delivering an ebook chapter by chapter can send each new chapter to a dedicated feed, so readers never miss an update. Course platforms can send new lesson announcements into a feed that only enrolled students can see. A publisher can build a niche news feed that combines selected categories and tags, making it easy for subscribers to follow industry developments without browsing the site. Custom post types work with the same protected feed system, so you are not limited to standard blog posts. Everything that appears in a protected feed is generated through the same token-based access checks, meaning the content stays out of public RSS aggregators and search engines. Because the output follows standard RSS 2.0, members can use any familiar reader or news app. That convenience can reduce the need for email newsletters and helps keep your audience returning to your site for the full experience.
This extension requires Paid Memberships Pro version 2.0.0 or higher and WordPress 4.9 or higher, so it slots comfortably into existing membership sites. It outputs standard RSS 2.0 feeds, which every mainstream reader and feed aggregator understands. Developers get filter hooks and template overrides, allowing them to adjust feed content, access control logic, or the output markup to match a specific site design. Recent updates have focused on tightening token validation to prevent unauthorized access, improving compatibility with the latest Paid Memberships Pro releases, and handling large sites with many members and posts more gracefully. Smaller fixes include special characters in post titles rendering correctly and feeds no longer erroring when a membership level had no associated posts. For most users, setup is straightforward: install the plugin, activate it, and configure the feed rules in the Paid Memberships Pro settings area.
