Paid Memberships Pro

Gate Jetonomy spaces by Paid Memberships Pro subscription level - with automatic access granted on activation and revoked on cancellation or expiry.

Available in Jetonomy free. The Paid Memberships Pro adapter ships in the free plugin - Jetonomy Pro is not required to gate spaces by PMPro levels.

What You Will Learn

  • How Jetonomy detects Paid Memberships Pro (PMPro)
  • How to set up an Access Rule tied to a PMPro level
  • What triggers the auto-join and auto-leave behavior
  • The hook names you can use for custom logic

How Detection Works

Jetonomy detects PMPro automatically when the plugin is active. The PMPro adapter registers with Jetonomy's Adapter Registry and unlocks the Access Rules tab in space settings. No manual connection step is required.

Note: If you activate PMPro after Jetonomy is already running, go to Jetonomy → Settings and save the page once to trigger adapter re-registration.

Setting Up an Access Rule

  1. Go to Jetonomy → Spaces and open the space you want to gate.
  2. Open the Access Rules tab in the space settings panel.
  3. Set Rule Type to your Paid Memberships Pro level (PMPro levels appear in the dropdown once PMPro is active).
  4. Pick the PMPro level in the Value field.
  5. Set Grants to Participate and Space Role to Member for a standard gated space.
  6. Click Add Rule. The rule appears in the table below the form.

Members who hold the selected PMPro level gain access to the space immediately. You can stack multiple rules - access is granted if the member matches any rule.

Tip: For a full explanation of the Grants (Read / Participate / Full) and Space Role (Viewer / Member / Moderator / Admin) choices, see Grants and Space Role in the MemberPress guide - they work the same for every integration.

Auto-Join and Auto-Leave

On activation - when a member's PMPro level activates, Jetonomy adds them to any spaces where that level is in an Access Rule. The hook jetonomy_membership_activated fires with $adapter = 'pmpro'.

On cancellation or expiry - when a PMPro level expires or is manually cancelled, Jetonomy removes the member from gated spaces. The hook jetonomy_membership_deactivated fires with $adapter = 'pmpro'.

The adapter hooks into PMPro's pmpro_after_change_membership_level action to detect both events.

Visibility Behavior

Space Visibility Non-member sees...
Public Space listed, content readable, posting locked
Private Space listed with lock icon, content hidden
Hidden Space not listed at all

Developer Hook

// Fires when a PMPro membership deactivates.
add_action( 'jetonomy_membership_deactivated', function( int $user_id, string $level_id, string $adapter ) {
    if ( 'pmpro' === $adapter ) {
        // Remove user from any related external system.
        my_crm_remove_access( $user_id, $level_id );
    }
}, 10, 3 );

Troubleshooting

Level dropdown is empty in Access Rules - Confirm PMPro is active and that you have at least one membership level created in Memberships → Membership Levels.

Member not removed on cancellation - PMPro has several cancellation states (expired, admin-cancelled, non-renewing). Jetonomy listens to all of them via pmpro_after_change_membership_level where the new level is 0.

Multiple levels, unexpected access - If a user holds more than one PMPro level, Jetonomy evaluates all rules. Access persists as long as any single rule still matches an active level.
