As our development team continues to improve the core Paid Memberships Pro plugin and other PMPro Add Ons, occasionally Add Ons get merged into core or we suggest alternative solutions.
In this compatibility guide, we cover three categories of Add Ons that we no longer recommend using and why.
Add Ons Merged Into Core Paid Memberships Pro
With PMPro v3.0, we merged the ability for members to hold multiple membership levels at one time in the core plugin. This version also included merging two other popular premium Add Ons into core, including:
- Cancel on Next Payment Date Add On
- Stripe Billing Limits Add On
- Multiple Memberships Per User Add On
In previous releases, there were a few other Add Ons that were merged into core. If you see mention of the following Add Ons on our site or anywhere else on the internet, these Add Ons are also now part of the fully open source core plugin:
- Register Helper (now handled via User Fields settings screen).
- Member History (now a feature of the Edit Member screen).
- Email Template Admin Editor (now handled via the Email Templates settings screen).
- Better Logins Report (now offered with the Visits, Views, and Logins report).
Deprecated and No Longer Recommended Add Ons
These Add Ons have been replaced by new features in the core Paid Memberships Pro plugin or by newer Add Ons. The Add Ons below are now deprecated and should no longer be used.
Add Member From Admin Add On
The Add Member From Admin Add On allowed users with the admin or membership manager role to create a new user, add membership level settings, and optionally create an order in one single step.
Paid Memberships Pro v3.0 and higher now includes a better pathway to create a new member and adjust their memberships. Navigate to Memberships > Members and click + Add Member.
Recurring Payment Email Reminders Add On
The Recurring Payment Email Reminder Add On was a premium Add On that sent an email to remind members that their next recurring subscription payment is processing soon that has been deprecated.
Paid Memberships Pro v3.2 and higher now includes this email template within the list of email templates. Edit this template by navigating to Memberships > Settings > Email Templates > Recurring Payment Reminder.
Sponsored Members Add On
The Sponsored Members Add On was a code-based system and has been deprecated. Alternatively, we recommend the new Group Accounts Add On. This new Add On has more features and a no-code setup.
Avalara: AvaTax Integration
This Add On is being deprecated and will only receive minor updates and small bug fixes. We are working on other tax solutions for membership sites. For more information about taxes with PMPro, please read the guide here: Methods to Calculate and Apply Taxes with Paid Memberships Pro.
Add Ons Not Compatible With Multiple Membership Per User Setups
These Add Ons are not compatible when you have a site that allows members to hold multiple membership levels at a time. If your site only offers one level group where members are restricted to one active membership level at a time, these Add Ons will work for you as-is. We cannot guarantee we will continue to support these plugins over time.
Discord Integration
The Discord Integration plugin automatically sets their Discord Server Role based on their membership level in Paid Memberships Pro. While the Discord Integration is an active third party plugin, it is designed for sites where members are restricted to one active membership level at a time.
Payflow Recurring Orders Add On
The Payflow Recurring Orders Add On is designed for sites where members are restricted to one active membership level at a time. If you are looking for recurring payment options with the ability for members to hold multiple membership levels at one time, please see our other payment gateway recommendations.
