Quick Start

Divi 5 first

This quick start adds the form in the Divi 5 Visual Builder, from the Divi Membership folder. Divi 4 uses the same plans and the Register module in the Classic Builder. See Register module on Divi 4.

Goal​

By the end of this guide you’ll have a simple membership: one plan, a signup form, and member-only content. Visitors can sign up, and once logged in they’ll see the content you’ve locked for members.

What you need​

  • Divi Membership installed and your license entered (see Installation).
  • A page you can edit in the Divi 5 Visual Builder (for example “Sign up” or “Pricing”).

Steps​

Step 1: Create a membership plan​

  1. Go to Divi Membership → Memberships.
  2. Click Add New Membership.
  3. The editor opens in a full window. Enter a Membership name, such as Basic or Pro.

Add new membership

Close full window returns to the compact editor. Save membership stays in the full window.

Step 2: Add a price​

  1. Open the Billing tab.
  2. Click Add billing cycle.
  3. Set Title to Monthly, Type to Recurring, Billing period to Every 1 month, and enter the Price.
  4. You can add Sale price (optional), or another cycle such as Yearly.
  5. Click Save membership.

Add billing cycle

Quick reference: Title is the label members see, such as Monthly. Type is Recurring, One-time, or Free. Billing period is Every plus a count and a unit (day, week, month, or year). Price is the amount charged, and Sale price (optional) replaces it when set. On a recurring cycle, turn on Free trial, set Trial length, and use Collect payment details at signup when a card is required during the trial. A one-time cycle uses Access length instead of a billing period. Leave access length empty for lifetime access.

Step 3: Turn on member-only content​

  1. Go to Divi Engine → Divi Membership → General.
  2. Under Enabled Post Types, turn on the kinds of content you want to protect (e.g. Posts). Only members will be able to see these.
  3. Save settings.

Enable Post Types to Restrict

Step 4: Choose what this plan can access​

  1. On the same plan, open the Access tab.
  2. The first Content rule starts with Title set to All for the post types you enabled, so members can see that content until you narrow the rules.
  3. Set Type to a post type or taxonomy, then choose specific items under Title. Use Add content rule when the plan needs another rule.
  4. Click Save membership.

Content Access

Everyone who does not have this plan is blocked from that content. Each billing cycle header shows a short summary, such as “14 days free, then £29 / month”.

Step 5: Set up payments (Stripe or PayPal)​

If your plan isn’t free, set up how you’ll take payment.

  1. Go to Divi Engine → Divi Membership → Payment Gateways.
  2. Turn on Stripe or PayPal (or both).
  3. Enter the keys from your Stripe or PayPal account. The plugin will tell you which ones to paste where.
  4. Save settings.
tip

If you’re only offering a free plan or a trial with no card required yet, you can skip this and set up payments later.

Step 6: Add the registration form to a page​

  1. Edit or create a page in the Visual Builder (for example “Sign up” or “Pricing”).
  2. Add Registration Form from the Divi Membership folder.
  3. Turn on Enable Payment Form? and leave Membership Plan Field Style as Select, or switch it to Radio.
  4. Set Redirect Type to the member account page or a thank-you page.
  5. Save and publish.

On Divi 4, add Register from the Divi Membership group in the Classic Builder. See Register module on Divi 4.

Step 7: Test it​

  1. Open your signup page in a private/incognito window (or while logged out).
  2. Sign up and pay (if the plan has a price).
  3. Check that you’re sent to the page you set and can open the member account.
  4. Open a post that’s for members only: you should see it when logged in, and a “members only” or login message when logged out.

Checklist​

  • Visitors can reach your signup page and complete signup.
  • After login, members can see the member-only content you set.
  • Divi Engine → Divi Membership and its settings work in the admin.

If something doesn’t work, double-check Payment Gateways (keys correct?), Endpoints (member account URL), and that the Registration Form has the payment form on and a redirect set.
