Approvals Addon 1.6.3 – Paid Memberships Pro

Membership Approval Addon for Paid Memberships Pro

Need to review members before they join your community? The Approvals Addon for Paid Memberships Pro gives you complete control over who gets access to your content. Instead of automatically granting access, new signups land in a pending queue until you say “yes” or “no.”

This means you can screen applicants, verify credentials, or simply make sure your community stays a good fit. Once approved, members move through Paid Memberships Pro normally — same levels, same pricing, same access rules. The addon just adds a gatekeeping step at the front end.

What This Addon Does

When someone signs up through your membership site, their account shows as “pending approval” instead of active. You get notified, review their details, and approve or decline with one click. Declined users can be sent to a custom page, and approved users get their access right away — no manual work on your part.

• Automatic pending status for new signups
• Admin notification when approval is needed
• One-click approve or decline from the WordPress dashboard
• Custom redirect URLs for declined applications
• Approval status visible to both admins and users

Who Should Use This

This addon works best when your membership isn’t open to everyone. Professional associations that verify credentials, B2B communities where you vet members, or premium groups where you maintain a certain standard — all good fits. If you’re currently manually disabling accounts or using workarounds to control access, this replaces all of that.

It’s also useful if spam signups have been cluttering up your member list. The approval step stops them cold before they ever reach your content.

How It Integrates

The Approvals Addon installs as a plugin and works alongside Paid Memberships Pro without conflicts. Your current membership levels, payment gateways, and content restrictions all stay the same. The addon simply intercepts new signups and holds them until you take action.

• Works with all Paid Memberships Pro versions
• No changes to your existing membership structure
• Compatible with most PMP Pro extensions

Why Get This Addon

Manual approval sounds like extra work, but it’s actually less hassle than dealing with unwanted members after the fact. This addon gives you a clean, auditable system for controlling your community. You get instant download, a commercial license, and lifetime updates so it keeps working as Paid Memberships Pro evolves.

One payment covers everything — no subscriptions, no surprises. If you’ve been manually managing member access or wishing you could be more selective about who joins, this addon fills that gap cleanly.
