amProtect is a plugin for WordPress that allows you to protect posts and pages with aMember subscriptions.
amProtect: WordPress Plugin for aMember
Create Customers-Only Content in Seconds!
The New amProtect Plugin Allows aMember and WordPress to “Talk” So You Can Create Customers-Only Content on the Fly!
If you sell digital products through aMember, then you’ll find amProtect to be particularly helpful in delivering post-purchase information to your customers — and to ONLY your customers.
amProtect is perfect for:
- Providing additional tutorials and training to people who purchase your products.
- Delivering bonus reports and articles to purchasers of a particular product.
- Offering “surprise bonus” reports to new customers.
Every product in aMember has a unique product ID. By using amProtect, you can get WordPress and aMember to “talk” to each other using the product ID.
Here’s how it works:
First, install and configure the amProtect plug-in in your WordPress blog. Then, when you write a new page or post, select the unique product from a list of all of your aMember products. Save your work.
Once this is done, only customers who’ve purchased the product associated with the unique product ID you’ve used will be able to view the page or post.
If the purchase of more than one product should trigger access to the content you’re protecting, you can select multiple products on your post or page to give different groups of customers access to it.
Example:
Let’s say you’ve created a series of blog posts that demonstrate how to use a software program you sell. You only want customers of this software program to see or have access to your instructional blog posts.
So… if your software is called “My Software,” then you would check the box next to “My Software” in the list of all of your aMember products when creating your customers-only WordPress posts.
Until somebody purchases “My Software,” they will not be able to see or read your tutorials. Although they WILL be able to see the “teasers” when they search your blog or go to your categories page.
Good news! Search engines will be able to “see” and index your teaser copy, too. If you craft really compelling teaser copy, you may be able to bring in new customers who want to get access to your customers-only content!
So let’s recap what amProtect can do…
- Gives you the ability to protect individual posts and pages so they are only accessible to customers who’ve purchased a certain product(s) through aMember.
- Allows you to create mutually exclusive protected content. (There is no group hierarchy to worry about.)
- amProtect is a WordPress plugin so it is very easy to install. No additional WordPress or aMember plugins are required to make this work.
- No need for any users to ever be created in WordPress with amProtect.

P.S. So long as your customers are logged into their primary aMember account, they will automatically be able to access all customers-only content they qualify for. There are no additional passwords to worry about — a huge time saver for you!

Hi , I’m looking to buy amProtect for my WordPress blog but I had a few questions.
I need to options. At first, we’re going to limit all post to teasers with full access given to one membership package and a few trials memberships. Later we plan to split membership per category. Is this something easy to do with you plugin?
If you’re using aMember then amProtect can definitely allow you to protect an entire post or to just protect a portion of a post. So you can select whichever members you want to allow to see whichever posts. You can do the same thing for pages too. But at this time you cannot protect an entire category. You will select your protection on a post-by-post basis.
Hi Ken,
I would like to set up a blog with some protection and wanted to confirm whether your plugin can help. I can see some of the answers but for sake of clarity I will let you know all I want to do.
Free members have access to a few pages/content only and see teasers for other pages/content.
Membership is paid by post so if member pays for post 1 they can acccess that post. I also want to allow the download of a zip file. If they require post 2 then they would have to pay for that and also can downlaod a zip file
I can see you can protect individual posts just as you would products, butcan I deliver zip files as part of this?
thanks
Guy
Hey Guy!
Just to be clear, my amProtect plugin does not work by itself to protect posts. It is a plugin that works with aMember Professional Membership Software. You set up your products / subscriptions / memberships in aMember and then you can protect your posts or pages based on those subscriptions. So if you wanted to charge by post you could set up a product by post in aMember and then the post could only be viewed by members who had paid you to view that post through aMember. To protect your zip files you can put them in a folder on your system and use aMember to protect the folder. When a folder is protected with aMember, nobody can get anything out of that folder unless they have paid you. So the same membership level in aMember can be used to protect a post (with amProtect installed in WordPress) and the zip file.
I hope that makes it clearer.
I want to order for this, but I hope it’s not encoded and also I’m going to be making use of it on two domains, so don’t ask for the address.
Hey David!
Yes, it is encoded. You can use it on as many domains as you want to as long as you personally own each of them.
Thanks,
Ken
