Installing & Configuring our Elementor Add-on

This documentation will show you how to install and use the Elementor add-on for MemberPress which is available on all MemberPress plans.

Note: You will need to install the Elementor theme plugin for the add-on to work correctly.

Installation

To install the Elementor add-on, go to the MemberPress menu and click on the green Add-ons link.

Next, scroll down and find the Elementor add-on, and click on the Install Add-on button. This will automatically install and activate it.

Configuration

Make sure the MemberPress Elementor Content Protection Add-on is installed and the Elementor theme is installed and activated. Then go to a page or post where you'd like to protect existing content (or create new content) and launch Elementor:

Before you can protect your content, you'll need to create a Rule in MemberPress, which you can do at MemberPress menu > Rules ( visit the Rules Overview documentation here).

After creating a Rule, go back to the content, click the 6 dot option on a Section, then click on the MemberPress tab:

The MemberPress tab will not appear in Containers. It will only appear in Sections.

To protect the content, set the MemberPress Rule to the rule you created earlier. You'll most likely want to use a Partial Rule so you can protect different parts of the page or post to create a paywall.

Once the Rule is selected, choose from the dropdown for the Unauthorized Content field. You can choose from Default, Hide, or Display Message.

Default: This option shows your default unauthorized message, which can also include the login page.

Hide: This option hides the content from unauthorized viewers.

Display Message: This option allows you to show unauthorized viewers a custom unauthorized message. Type your custom message in the Custom Message field below the Unauthorized Content field.

Click save, and your content should now be protected from unauthorized viewers.
