Paid Memberships Pro Developers Toolkit 1.1
Paid Memberships Pro Developers Toolkit is a WordPress plugin that equips sandbox and development sites using PMPro with essential tooling. It streamlines testing and debugging—redirect all PMPro emails, disable daily WP-Cron, enable PayPal/Stripe debugging, and 'View As' to test pages as any membership level—boosting development speed and reliability. A must-have for efficient, safe PMPro experimentation.
Description
The Paid Memberships Pro Developers Toolkit is a WordPress plugin designed to support PMPro sandbox and development workflows. It helps you test and debug membership functionality safely without disrupting real users or production email flows. By centralizing PMPro-specific tooling, it streamlines troubleshooting across membership checks, page access, and payment callbacks. Use it to redirect PMPro emails to a single address, control scheduled tasks, and validate gateway events during development. The toolkit also includes a “View As” feature to preview pages as different membership levels in WordPress and Elementor-based builds.
Main Features
- Redirect all PMPro emails — Sends PMPro-related emails to one administrator address for controlled testing.
- Disable daily WP-Cron scripts — Prevents scheduled PMPro-related scripts from running during development.
- PayPal debugging — Enables debugging for PayPal IPNs to verify payment notifications.
- Authorize.net Silent Post debugging — Adds visibility for Authorize.net Silent Posts during sandbox testing.
- Stripe Webhook debugging — Supports Stripe webhook debugging to confirm event delivery and handling.
- View As membership levels — Lets admins preview pages as any membership level for a limited time.
- Developer-focused settings page — Configure options under Settings → PMPro Toolkit within WordPress.
- Tool scripts for database tasks — Run scripts from Tools → PMPro Toolkit Scripts when preparing dev environments.
Benefits
- Safer testing — Redirected emails reduce unintended messages to real users.
