Member Management

Would you like to view, edit, and manage all users who have registered through your User Registration forms? User Registration & Membership provides a dedicated Members area where you can control user access, track activity, and manage member details—all from a centralized dashboard.

This tutorial will show you how to access the Members area, view member details, edit user information, manage user status, and track member activity.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you've installed and activated the User Registration & Membership plugin on your WordPress site. You'll also need administrator access to manage members, and at least one user registered through a User Registration form.

Accessing the Members Area

To access the Members area, go to User Registration & Membership > Members from your WordPress dashboard. Here, you'll see a list of all users who have registered through User Registration forms.

The Members table displays key information including member names, email addresses, registration dates, and current status. You can search for specific members, filter by membership plan or status, and perform bulk actions on multiple members at once.

Viewing Member Details

To view detailed information about a specific member, hover over the user record in the Members table and click on the Edit button.

This opens the member details page, which displays:

Personal information including name, email, username, and profile details

Registration source and date

Current user status and role

Membership plan details (if applicable)

Entry details showing all form field submissions

The Entry Details section shows exactly what information the user submitted during registration, making it easy to review their application or verify their details.

Editing Member Information

Once in edit mode, you can update user details including their name, email, username, and other profile information. If you need to reset their password, you can set a new password directly from this screen. Click Save Changes to save your changes.

Managing User Status

User Registration & Membership extends WordPress's basic user management with additional status controls that let you manage access without deleting accounts or losing user data.

From the Members table or member details page, you can change a user's status to:

Approve User — Allows the user to access the site and use available features

Deny User — Restricts the user from accessing the site

Enable User — Activates the user account and restores access

Disable User — Temporarily disables or deactivates the user account and restricts access for a specified duration (days, weeks, months, or years)

Delete User — Permanently removes the user and all associated data from the site

To change a user's status, hover over their record in the Members table and select the desired action from the available options. For temporary restrictions, the Disable User option allows you to specify exactly how long the user should be restricted from accessing the site.

Tracking User Activity with User Journey

User Registration & Membership Pro includes a User Journey feature that tracks member activities across your website. To enable this feature, go to User Registration & Membership > Settings > Advanced > Others and turn on the Enable User Activity Tracker option.

Once enabled, you can view the User Journey table inside the View User dashboard. This table shows:

Pages visited by the member

Time spent on each page

Form interactions and completion status

Navigation patterns before and after registration

The User Journey feature is only available with User Registration & Membership Pro. User Activity Tracker must be enabled in settings before User Journey data appears.

Searching and Filtering Members

The Members area includes powerful search and filtering tools to help you find specific users quickly:

Use the search bar to find members by username or email address

Filter by membership plan to see all members on a specific tier

Filter by user status to view approved, pending, or denied members

Sort by registration date, name, or other columns by clicking the column headers

These filters help you segment your member base and perform targeted actions on specific groups of users.

Performing Bulk Actions

To manage multiple members at once, select the checkboxes next to the user records you want to modify. Then, choose an action from the Bulk actions dropdown menu at the top of the table and click Apply.

Bulk actions allow you to efficiently manage large numbers of members without having to edit each account individually.
