What Is PMPro – Add Member Admin Add On .5?
PMPro – Add Member Admin Add On .5 is developed by Paid Memberships Pro and is a membership plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional community management. This specific add-on solves the fragmentation of standard WordPress user creation by aggregating all relevant Paid Memberships Pro fields into one interface.
The plugin is ideal for membership sites that handle offline registrations or require administrative control over member entry. It streamlines the backend process by ensuring that user metadata and membership status are synchronized immediately upon form submission.
PMPro – Add Member Admin Add On .5 Features
The feature set is built around administrative efficiency and manual member management within the membership environment.
One-Step Member Creation
Add Member Admin Add On enables administrators to bypass the standard multi-page registration process. From a single screen, you can enter the user’s email, set a password manually or generate one randomly, and assign a WordPress role. This integration ensures that the user account and membership level are linked from the moment of creation, reducing errors in manual data entry.
Membership and Order Management
Beyond basic user details, the plugin allows the selection of specific membership levels and custom expiration dates. While the add-on does not process live credit card transactions in the dashboard, it supports recording payments made via cash or check. This creates a corresponding order in the system, which is essential for accurate financial reporting and member history tracking within the Paid Memberships Pro ecosystem.
User Notes and Custom Fields
The plugin includes a dedicated field for User Notes, which are saved to the WordPress usermeta table. These notes can be configured to display only for administrators on user profile pages. Additionally, existing filters and custom user fields already established on the site will typically appear within the Add Member interface to maintain consistency across the platform.

This ensures the user gains access immediately while the admin records the transaction as a cash or check payment for internal accounting.
