[@michaelgrunewalder9879]

Great tutorial. I was not really interested in building a membership site and only watched the video to see how one would do it. The tools you use however seem very versatile and I certainly learned something useful today. Thanks :-)

[@sondraturnbull]

This is a brilliant solution for what I've been seeking for a couple of years now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously.

[@bluefuzecom]

Man, this is amazing. Nicely done!

[@susangemayel-tapper3794]

Adam, thank you so much for all the time you take to keep us updated with so much cool stuff!!

[@windyest]

Thank you, i have just started watching and you said what i wanted to hear from the start. Nice Video Flow. Rely well done!

[@thrivingchildcare]

I just wanted to THANK YOU SO MUCH for this! I'm setting up a membership now and just didn't want to commit to a platform for hundreds of dollars before I know what the membership will look like. This was perfect and on-time!

[@Shufflesculpt]

Did you start up yet? If so, how is it going for you so far?

[@ThePracticalIntuitive]

How awesome is this. I was just thinking of how I wanted to add a membership but needed to learn the best way of doing it. Thanks Adam. You are amazing! 🙂

[@WPCrafter]

Super lightweight using what you already have.

[@TrentKennelly]

This is great! Memberships are an amazing engagement strategy.

[@WPCrafter]

Yep, especially when you have a free tier, it's a great way to give value and capture information.

[@andrasmadar9648]

This has been one of the most helpful videos for me in a long time! Thank you so much for all the information! Instant subscription

[@circlesdigital]

[@FernandoArbex]

Wow! Absolutely brilliant. Thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial. I'll definitely going to implement this one.

[@gordondesign9752]

Adam, Thanks so much for this, I was paying a premium price for a membership plugin that required programming skills beyond the average front-end developer. I like the way you've utilised WordPress core resources and given us an education in basic automation at the same time - well done!

[@tzvibendaniel2045]

Adam you're a freaking genius! And I love how you present it all so nonchalantly. Thank you SO much!

[@allisonkessler17]

Brilliant! I love how you do your tutorials from start to finish every time. I always learn something new.

[@WPCrafter]

Thank you, really working on it. This one was great because I was able to show how to create user roles and control access based on them.

[@amstrongtv2647]

[@purrpaws7863]

Been learning from Adam for a long while now. Every now and then, I would see comments bashing him for talking "too much". Don't ever change Adam! You talk just the right amount! There are those of us who want to understand why this or that step is needed. Unlike those who just follow along blindly, not understanding (and therefore not retaining the knowledge) what they're doing. Thank you for all your work, Adam! Love, from the Philippines :)

[@WPCrafter]

Yea everyone is a critic on the internet, especially KZbin. I'll tell ya, I have learned to not let any of that negativity in or have it affect me or steal any of my joy. Thanks for the support and I think its actually a bonus my talk speed and style because people always have to option to increase the playback speed :-)

[@DaniiMarie333]

He gets right to the point, they are mad he is giving away their little secrets, every 1 gate keeps the good stuff it seems thank u for helping the little guys!!

[@ABunchOfWhimsy]

This is great. I enjoyed every bit of the video. I just need the next step that only shows certain products (subscriptions in our case) to on those members. Cheers!

[@kolitv231]

Great Job we need a part of this tutorials for registered members to be able to communicate with each other or Tutorials on how to build a social media website like facebook and so on for few members

Hi Adam, quite interesting Automator has added the change the role trigger, to a pro feature. love fluent forms.

[@ahmedd.masoud6809]

Amazing bro ,. That's powerful,

[@WPCrafter]

Thank you 🙌

[@michaelkloran5354]

Unfortunately, it appears the option to change the user role has been removed from the free version of Uncanny Automator making this impossible.

[@fullmusicsam]

Forminator changed the icon after this video haha! Amazing video BTW

[@sweekrith]

This is awesome 👍

[@JoeGator23]

[@JoeGator23]

@@WPCrafter It works both ways,; it's getting hard to keep up with all of the new information coming out, as well. Everything is going faster and more efficient. Thanks again... have a nice weekend!

[@giosolomon]

Hello Adam absolutely love your tutorials! What template in Elementor you'd recommend to create a page that contains this membership style functions? thanks!

[@amineunshakable1295]

Ohh my friend, You are God Sent “Adam” This tutorial is one of the top notch you have done in very longtime now I can see what all this silence and being out of sight for while.. 😆 You are awesome 👏 thank you NP: When will I be able to buy your upcoming book ?

[@willmastro]

Fantastic! Thanks Adam. In regards to setting up recurring membership payments with this, is that something that can only be achieved by configuring within your Stripe account or is there another solution you can recommend free or premium? Thanks
