Description

With Approvals, you add to Paid Memberships Pro a manual approval workflow that keeps new sign-ups under review after registration, allowing you to approve or reject members before granting access level permissions. The Approvals add-on is designed for membership sites that need to validate requests, filter profiles, and manage private communities before protected content becomes available.

Key Features of Approvals

  • Manual approval
    Adds administrative review before the final activation of the membership.
  • Review status
    Keeps new members pending while they wait for a decision in the dashboard.
  • Request rejection
    Allows you to deny sign-ups that do not meet the defined criteria.
  • Access control
    Restricts protected content until the membership is approved.
  • Integrated workflow
    Runs within the Paid Memberships Pro sign-up processes.

Benefits of Approvals

  • More controlled entry
    Reduces unauthorized access to private areas or closed communities.
  • Member curation
    Helps validate profiles before releasing restricted content.
  • Less manual tweaking
    Centralizes the approval decision within the membership workflow.
  • More organized community
    Supports environments with clear participation criteria.

Who Is Approvals Intended For?

  • Anyone who manages private communities and needs to approve participants before access.
  • You who sell access to restricted content and want to review new sign-ups.
  • Anyone using Paid Memberships Pro for groups, clubs, or selective member areas.

How to Download Approvals

The Approvals is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the package, and activate it. Keep Paid Memberships Pro installed so the add-on works correctly.

Approvals adds a validation layer to the membership process, useful when access should not be automatically granted after sign-up. Instead of relying only on payment or the submitted form, the site gains an administrative decision step, maintaining more control over who can enter reserved areas.
