Turn Your Community Into a Membership Business
Monetize your WordPress community with built-in paywalls using User Registration & Membership.
How it Works?
You Focus on:
Creating podcast content
Hosting on Vimeo or Bunny Stream
We Handle:
Paywall and content restriction
Payment processing
Member access and subscriptions
Think of it this way: Vimeo or Bunny Stream delivers your episodes, while URM quietly handles who’s allowed to watch and manages the membership side of things.
How It Works?
Forum platforms like bbPress or BuddyPress creates your community. User Registration & Membership handles who can access it, processes payments, and memberships.
You Focus On:
Setting up forums, groups, and discussions (with bbPress, BuddyPress or others plugin)
Creating sub-forums and community pages
URM Handles:
Page based restriction for community pages/URLs
Member access and subscriptions
Processing payments and renewals
Your Community Is Ready
But without URM, you’re missing the content restriction and paywall system.
Platforms Limit Monetization
Forums and community plugins focus on discussion, not payments or memberships.
No Line Between Members and Visitors
Everyone sees everything. There’s no real incentive to commit, pay, or participate more deeply.
Everyone Gets Full Access
Your most valuable discussions are available to anyone: for free.
You don’t need a new community platform. You need a membership paywall.
