Description
MemberPress Toolbox Manual Member Approval is a WordPress plugin for membership sites that need an approval step before members can log in. It lets you choose which MemberPress memberships require an administrator to review new sign-ups. Instead of granting immediate access, the plugin keeps membership content secure with a controlled onboarding flow.
Designed to work alongside your existing MemberPress setup, it’s straightforward to configure in the WordPress admin area. Admins can review pending requests at a glance, helping you balance access control with a smooth user experience.
