WordPress password protected membership giving access to audio lessons?

    I’m a senior citizen from the states who lives in Eastern Europe and who teaches English.

    I have 14 packages / products / lessons for the practice and learning of American accent and separately, British accent. Someone wrote me saying:

    ‘When people buy and pay you, they could get access to the membership portal where the content is available for them and only for them (password protected – they will have to log in). There are plugins for WordPress that can cover that kind of functionality.’

    Where and how can I find these plugins?

    Thanks,

    Marc Washington

    Hi Marc, you haven’t mentioned where your site is or will be hosted and that will ultimately have an impact on which “WordPress” you’ll be using.

    Here’s a guide to the differences between WordPressdotcom (where we are ) and the open source WordPress software: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ which may help you make a decision about which is best for your needs.

    Here on WordPressdotcom, only the Business plan upgrade has the ability to install 3rd party plugins and once you have upgraded, you’ll be able to access the plugins from your MY SITE dashboard. Here’s more on the Business plan: https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/ Also once you upgrade, you’ll be eligible for direct support via LiveChat or email rather than posting in the community forums.

    Hope that helps, but let us know if you have other questions after reading those support guides.

    Is Woocommerce third party?

    Thanks,

    Hello again, Marc. Yes, it is and you can find more information about Woocommerce directly on their website or their support forum.

    Looking at your other forum posts it seems that nativeenglishcoaches.com is using the open source WordPress software and is not hosted here on WordPressdotcom

    For help with your site using the open source WordPress software, you’ll want to head over to the documentation and support forums at https://wordpress.org/support for assistance. If you have questions about a particular plugin, you can post in that plugin support forum or the general forum there for suggestions.

    WordPressdotcom (where we are ) and the open source WordPress software are separate entities with different documentation and support forums. To learn more about the differences https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Best wishes.
