Granted Subscriptions

Selling an all-access pass is easy. Adding it to the access rules of every page is a chore. Granted Subscriptions turns one Membership into an all-access membership: its members can open every restricted page and post, even when the restriction names other Memberships.

You pick the Membership once, and your existing rules stay exactly as they are.

One all-access membership for your whole site

• Pick one Membership. Choose the Membership that should open everything, such as an Annual Pass.
• Restricted content opens. Its members pass the checks on restricted pages and posts, Access Rules, Inside Lockers and restricted menu items.
• No rule changes. The add-on works on top of the rules you already have.
• Show and block rules alike. It covers restrictions that show content to certain Memberships and the ones that block it.
• New content included. Pages you restrict later open for the all-access Membership too, with nothing to add.
• Follows the Membership. Access lasts while the member’s all-access Membership is active.

How Granted Subscriptions works

1. Create the Membership you want to sell as all-access, if you don’t have it yet.
2. Switch on Granted Subscriptions in Ultimate Membership Pro.
3. Choose that Membership as the Target Subscription and save.
4. Logged-in members with that Membership active can now open every restricted page and post.

Step-by-step setup is in the Granted Subscriptions guide.

When an all-access pass fits

• A top Membership above topic Memberships. Sell a Membership per topic or course, plus one pass that opens them all.
• An annual pass. Keep pages restricted to your monthly Membership, and let annual members in everywhere.

For example, a coaching club picks Annual Pass as the Target Subscription. Its Pro workshop page is restricted to Pro Monthly only. Pro Monthly and Annual Pass members can both open it, while Free Community members can’t.

Your content restriction rules keep working as before for every other Membership.

Works well with

• Granted Access, to open restricted content to trusted IP addresses.
• Limited Subscriptions, to cap how many people can buy a Membership.
• Subscriptions and recurring payments, to bill your all-access pass monthly or yearly.
