What Is PMPro: Invite Only Membership .34?
PMPro: Invite Only Membership .34 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 digital community builders. The plugin establishes a gated entry system where existing members or administrators generate keys for new applicants.
It solves the problem of automated bot registrations and low-quality signups in exclusive groups. Organizations use this add-on to create tiered referral systems where access is a privilege granted by current participants.
PMPro: Invite Only Membership .34 Features
The feature set is built around secure code validation and member-led recruitment.
Restricted Level Access
Invite Only Membership allows administrators to specify exactly which membership levels require a code for signup. This can apply to both free and paid levels, ensuring that even free tiers remain exclusive. The plugin integrates directly into the standard membership registration checkout process, adding a mandatory invite code field.
Code Generation and Distribution
Members receive unique invite codes immediately after completing their own membership checkout. You can configure whether a member receives one or multiple codes. The plugin supports single-use codes for maximum security or unlimited-use codes for viral growth campaigns within a trusted circle.
Member and Admin Management
Registered users can view and manage their invite codes directly on their Membership Account page. They can see a list of used and unused codes, including who used their specific referral to join. Admins retain full control through the WordPress back-end, with the ability to add more codes to specific user accounts via the Edit User screen.

Use Cases
Exclusive Professional Networks
Organizations can use membership invitation logic to ensure that only verified professionals can join. By requiring an invite from an existing member, the community maintains its pedigree without manual vetting of every new applicant by the staff.
Beta Testing Groups
Software developers and product creators can release invite codes to a small group of initial testers. These testers can then invite a limited number of colleagues, allowing the user base to grow gradually while the developer monitors server load and feedback.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Using Invite Only Membership through WPExclusive allows agencies to deploy gated membership features across multiple client domains without purchasing individual high-tier Paid Memberships Pro licenses for every site. This significantly reduces overhead for boutique development firms.
