FAQ

Questions from Restrict Content Pro users

Something else on your mind? Search the documentation or try the live demo before you buy.

Will my Restrict Content Pro members carry over?

Yes. Your members are WordPress users, so their accounts and passwords stay as they are. Export their memberships from Restrict Content Pro and import them into Ultimate Membership Pro with a CSV.

Can I keep my membership levels and prices?

Yes. Recreate each level as a Membership with the same price, billing cycle and free trial, and turn your discount codes into coupons.

What happens to my restricted content?

You rebuild the rules once: restrict pages, posts, categories, menus or URLs by Membership, and replace the [restrict] shortcode with the Ultimate Membership Pro one.

Will you help me move?

Yes. Open a ticket and our support team helps you through the import and setup. It’s included with every license.

Can I use the same payment gateways?

Yes. Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Authorize.Net and 2Checkout are all in the Pro plan, along with Mollie, Pagseguro and bank transfer.

Do you have group accounts and drip content?

Yes. Drip content is in the Pro plan, and group accounts with the number of seats you set come with Full Package and Agency.

How is Ultimate Membership Pro billed?

Yearly, at an introductory price that renews at the regular price. You can change plans or cancel anytime, and you have 14 days to ask for a full refund.

Can I try it before I buy?

Yes. Request a demo, confirm your email, and you get your own WordPress site with Ultimate Membership Pro installed, ready to explore.
