Charging members with Ultimate Member means adding plugins
The free Ultimate Member plugin covers user profiles, registration, login, member directories and content restriction. It doesn’t take payments, so to sell memberships you add one of two paid routes, or switch to an Ultimate Member alternative built for it.
