The Fast Member Settings panel is found within the FastFlow settings page and is where you will configure most of your global site settings.

Mailing Settings

The General Mailing settings will allow you to set the global email sender name and email address. This will be used in as the sender details for any product notification emails.

Note: Products each have their own sender email settings which you can also enter on each product.

Mailing Method – Fast Member will use the default WordPress mailer. You can change this with our recommended plugin POST SMTP. You can check out a full tutorial on POST SMTP here.

Miscellaneous Settings

Plugin Language – you can set one of the supported translations to use Fast Member in your own language

Currency – Set a site wide currency for accepting payments

Default Landing Page after Login – Set a global members home page. This will override the individual members home page product settings. 

This setting is best used when you plan to sell more than one product or membership. By using this setting you can have a central ‘dashboard page’ for your members which links to the various membership levels and products once they have logged in.

You can view a detailed tutorial on Product Priorities here to understand the different scenarios where the members login page is used.

Non Member and Expired Member actions – these settings decide what happens to non members and those members who’s access expires (ie they miss payments).

These are global settings which will over ride the individual product settings. You can view more detailed tutorials on Non Member and Expired Member actions here

Hide Comments on Protected Pages – this will hide the posted comments on pages which have been marked for protection keeping the discussion as well as post content private only for members who have signed up and joined that particular product.

Delete Plugin Database – this will remove all entries created by FastMember from the WordPress database. If checked and you uninstall Fast Member you will lose all data associated with the plugin. This is only used when you wish to remove all traces of FastMember from an installation. In most cases leave this unchecked.

Use Beta Versions – This will allow you to install the latest development version of FastMember. Unless you want to test the very latest features and can report back any possible bugs you can leave this unchecked.

We may ask you to check this in individual support cases to push a new update to your site to fix any issues.

Each product has a number of tabs with various settings

Main Details

Here you set up the product title and a description.

Next we select the pages associated with the product

Sales Page – the main page where you will place the product payment button

Thank You Page – This is where your customer will be taken directly after purchase. You can set this to be an upsell or order confirmation page.

Login Page – The page where your customers will login

Home Page – The page your customer is taken to after login

Logout Redirect – Where your customer is taken to when they log out. You can send them to another offer if you wish.

Next we select the membership type.

You can view more details on each of the product types here

One Time Payment

Payment Subscription

Free Product

Product Bundles

You can create a bundle of products. If you choose this option you will be able to select any number of other products and your customer will be given access to these at the same time. This is useful if you have bonus products you would like to add to your main offer.

Member Roles

You can set the default signup role for both the Member and the affiliate here if you wish for them to have something other than the default WordPress Subscriber role.

Caution: This could pose a security risk if you were to set your Members or Affiliates with Admin role, so use this wisely.

Non Member and Expired Member Actions

This is what will happen when a Non-Member or an Expired Member tries to visit a page with members only content. The default setting will display a message on any page a non member visits.

There are a number of other options for both Non-Member and Expired Members which include setting a redirect and also showing a custom message.

You can view the full tutorial for ‘Non Members and Expired Members’ here.

Autoresponder Integration

Here you can choose one of the built in integrations. If you have one of the Fast Flow Autoresponder add-ons installed you will see an extra option appear in the list.

Each option will have it’s own specific settings which are linked to below
You can also choose to subscribe the member to the built in Autoresponder system.

This option can be changed for each subscriber on the Member / Affiliates page using the A/R Sub check box

Content Templates

Here you can change the default Hidden Content message which is displayed to members when you use the ‘partially hidden content’ short-code.

This message can be formatted just like any other WordPress post and can contain images, links and buttons of you wish.

Email Notifications

This is where you set the emails associated with each product. Each product can have a  unique a sender name and email address.

You can also customise the Welcome Email message with various tags.

The default message contains the following:

Hi [first_name],

Thanks for your purchase!

Here are your access details:

login url: [loginurl]
login: [login]
password: [pass]

Thanks again!

This will be sent immediately after purchase of a product, giving the new member the required access details for the membership site.

If they already exist as a member within WordPress the password will be hidden and a note to login with their existing password or request a password reset will be added to the message.

If ‘Send Email to Verify’ is checked within the Free Product there will be an additional email notification for the confirmation message.

Within this you can add the tags for user details plus the site url and a confirmation url which will be generated unique for each subscriber.

Once this is clicked they will be confirmed and logged into the site.

You can view the full tutorial on the Free Member verification process here.

Fast Affiliate Emails

If you have enabled the Fast Affiliate add on you will notice 2 more emails:

The first is the Affiliate Registration email. 

If left blank the global Affiliate Registration email from the Fast Member settings page will be used. If you wish to create a product specific Affiliate registration/welcome email then you can enter the details here.

The next email is the Affiliate Sale notification. This will be sent to your affiliates each time a sale is made. You will see a preconfigured message already added which you can change as needed with extra customisation tags to enter the customer name and email if required.

Finally at the bottom of the Email Verification page you can send a test email for each of the messages.

Integrations

The final tab of the Product Settings contains a section called integrations. This section will not appear until when a new product until it is saved. 

Once saved you will see the options for the built in 3rd Party Integrations, plus any Fast Flow plugin integrations which you may have installed.

You can view a more detailed tutorial on the Integrations here.

If you want to sell access to content or products for download without requiring a subscription then you can use a One Time Payment product.

This is ideal for ‘tripwire’ offers, up-sells, down-sells, cross sells or any other situation where you simply wish to make an offer without a recurring payment.

NOTE: If you wish to create a One Time Payment product with a free trial then you will use the subscription settings with a trial but only one installment. View the full Subscription Settings tutorial here.

If you set the One Time Payment product to ‘0’ it will create a free product, however you will get more options with the actual Free product type. 

View the full tutorial for Free Products here.

Fast Member gives you full control over membership site subscriptions from within WordPress.

Setting up a subscription is straight forward and done within the product settings.

In the Membership Type section select Payment Subscription

You will see the following options

Trial –  Set a price and duration for either days, weeks, months or years for any trial you wish to offer. You can also offer a Free Trial which enables you to take payment details but will not bill your members until the trial period is over.

Subscription – Set the price for the subscription and the frequency of the billing period. You can choose days, months, weeks or years.

Instalments – Set the number of instalments – if you set as 0 it will bill ongoing until cancelled

How Subscriptions Are Managed

After your member purchases a subscription they will be added to that product with both a start date and an expiry date. You can view the details for each member on the Members/ Affiliates page where you can see the Registration Date and Expires columns. 

Each time a subscription renews, the Expires column will be updated for the new period. 

If a payment is missed and the expiry date passes the member will remain in an expired state and the current access to any content will be paused until they renew their membership.

Manually Updating Subscriptions

You can manually update a member with a new expiry date by re-adding them to a product, setting the Membership date you wish their new access to expire on.

For the other aspects of member management you can view the full Member Management tutorial here.

Free Products can be created for different purposes including Free Memberships, Site Registrations, Product Upgrades or for adding members to the Fast Mailer Autoresponders.

You can also combine any of these uses (for example a Site Registration which also adds the member to an Autoresponder)

Free Memberships

A free Membership is created using a Free product and associating any number of pages, posts or files to be protected as part of that product in the same way you would with a paid product.

Site Registrations

A Site Registration is a Free Product created solely for the purpose of allowing members to register on your site.

The content they get access to will be very minimal and may just be the basic members area pages such as the members home and their account page. They will either have to purchase or perform some kind of action to get further access to content.

Product Upgrades – The Upgrade Button

You can offer bonus products or upgrades that are only available to members of certain products. By using a free product and the ‘Upgrade Button’ your members simply have to click a button to get access to that product.

This can be used as a way to monitor if your members are accessing certain pieces of content. You can even trigger an new autoresponder series once they hit the upgrade button and get added that product.

Autoresponder

A Free Product can be used purely as registration product for both the Fast Mailer Autoresponder and any of the integrated Autoresponder services.

Once someone has signed up to the free product they will be added to the Autoresponder you have setup and then you can follow up with them as needed.

Adding Members To Free Products

Members can be added to Free Products with the use of the Registration Form Shortcode. You can view the detailed Registration Form tutorial here.

Fast Member provides support for a number of Autoresponder Services.

Every product in Fast Member can have it’s own specific email integration allowing you to use different services for different products.

The following Email Autoresponder services are built in with support for others using FastFlow Add Ons with offer more extensive API integrations

You can view more detailed tutorials for each when clicking on the linked tutorials.

• Aweber
• Active Campaign
• ConvertKit
• MailerLite
• Get Response
• MailChimp
• Sendy

HTML Form Code

There is also support for a HTML form code. The form should include only 2 text fields (name and email) or 1 text field (email). 

Styles/CSS and Javascript are not needed so they will be stripped if there is any in your form code.

Internal Autroresponder System

Alongside the external Autoresponder integrations, when Fast Mailer is installed there is also an option on each product to allow the members to be added to the Fast Mailer Autoresponder and Email Broadcasting

This will give the status of Subscriber for the member in the Members / Affiliates page and will allow them to receive the internal Autoresponder and Broadcast messages which are sent to members of those products.

ClickBank integration is done in 5 steps.

1. Open the ‘Advanced Tools’ section in your ClickBank account Vendor Settings page and enable ‘Encrypt Transaction URLs’

2. Add the Secret Key from ClickBank into the Fast Flow settings page

3. Copy the Fast Member IPN URL from the Fast Member product into the Instant Notification field within your  ClickBank account settings and choose the latest version of the IPN. Test IPN to verify the URL is connected.

4. Add the ClickBank product ID and vendor details to the Fast Member product.

5. Add a ClickBank Paylink to your sales page.

You can use Fast ClickBank pro to generate a unique Paylink for your product along with Fast Buttons to add a CSS3 payment button to your sales page.

Full tutorials for each of these are here.

Registration forms are used for letting people sign up for Free Products so they can join your site and access any free content you make available.

You can let your members register with their full name and choose their own password and username, or you can create a simple form which only requires an email address and the password will be securely generated and mailed to them.

You can also choose to add any number of custom fields which will be added to the WordPress user profile and available for export as CSV.

Here is how to create a registration form in Fast Member:

Click the orange Fast Member icon from within the Classic WordPress editor

Select Signup Form (Free Products)  from the ‘Insert Shortcode For’ list

Next you can check which fields you wish to hide from the form

Add GDPR terms – this will add a checkbox for the visitor to agree to your site terms in for compliance with EU GDPR regulations
User Name – this will hide the User Name field from the form. If selected the email address will be used as the user name.
First Name – this will hide the First Name field. If selected the WordPress user profile will have no entry for First Name
Last Name – this will hide the Last Name field. If selected the WordPress user profile will have no entry for Last Name
Password – this will hide the Password field from the form. If selected a secure random character password will be generated and sent within the Welcome email.

Next you can add Extra Fields.These will be separated by a comma as CSV.

NOTE: The fields do not require spaces between the commas.

Any spaces within the extra fields (for example ‘Telephone Number’ will be displayed within the form, but will be closed together when adding to the database or displaying in the CSV export (ie TelephoneNumber).

The form entries will support spaces and the entries will be displayed in the WordPress user profile exported in the CSV as they are entered in the form.

Redirection URL – you can enter a URL here which will override the default product thankyou page. If left blank it will use the Thank You page form the product settings.

Submit Button – You can change the default ‘ Submit’ button text to use a more suitable Call To Action for your signup process.

GDPR Messages – You will find some default messages for the GDPR and privacy policy regulations. You can change this text to suit your policies if you wish.

Finally select the Free product you wish your members to signup for

Once you hit ‘Insert Shortcode’ you will see a shotcode added to your content which will have the various fields added or left empty depending on the options you have chosen.

Here is an example which will display all the signup form fields, GDPR and Privacy texts, but without any Extra Fields and with the default signup form button text.

			

				
				
					

					

					

					

					

				
					
Yes! I’m ready to get started. I agree to the terms and understand I can leave at any time

This would display a form similar to the one below.

In this next example all the form fields have been hidden (except the email field which can not be hidden) and the button text has been changed to ‘Sign Me Up’

Notice how the form fields are shown or hidden with the use of a 1 or 0 between the quotes.

This will show a signup form similar to the one below

In this final example you can see a signup form which shows the GDPR notice, First Name and Last Name (Email is shown by default, so only Username and Password have been hidden) plus 2 extra fields for Telephone Number and Age. A redirect URL has also been added which will take the new user to a special offer page after registration

			

				
				
					

					

				
					
Yes! I’m ready to get started. I agree to the terms and understand I can leave at any time

This will display a signup form similar to the one below

When you have more than one product or membership level you may find some conflict can arise over which ‘Members Home Page’ (AKA the default Landing Page after login) your members should be taken to after logging in.

Fast Member has a number of ways to overcome any problems like this.

1. Set A Global Login Landing Page

You can set a global landing page where all members will be taken to after login. This is the recommend overall solution and is set in the General settings and will affect all products. 

You can choose to overide this with specific product IDs on the login form shortcodes so you still have control from a specific login page if needed.

2. Drag And Drop Product Priorities

You can drag and drop the order of the products in the Products List. When you move a product to the top this will take priority over the products below. This will only be in effect if the member is part of that product. If they are a member of the product below then those settings will take priority.

Setting the global login landing page in the General Settings will override any product priorities

3. Login Form Shortcodes

As mentioned you can create product specifc login forms which will always take the member to the home for that product – provided they are a member of the product they will access those pages. If not they will be redirected or shown a ‘non member content’ message.

Drip feeding content is handled in 3 ways. For pages and posts and is done at the same time as the content protection making the setup super quick and easy.

You can either bulk select the pages and posts in the Protected Content section or you can select the products to add a specific page or post to on the page / post itself.

Protected Content

When selecting the pages / posts for protection you can enter the drip day the content will be made available in the box before adding. Once set you will see a number in square brackets by the pages / posts. This will remind you which day that page or post will become available to members of that product.

You can also drip feed the files your site members have access to in the same way. 

You can view the file protection tutorial here and the remote file protection (including Amazon S3) tutorial here

Page / Post Settings 

On each page or post you will see a meta box below the post editor for the products you can add that page / post to. 

When selecting a product you can also enter a drip day.

Once this page / post is saved that content will be protected from all visitors.

Members of that product will then get access once they reach that day in their membership.

Membership Drip Advance

You can advance certain site members through your drip feed content by updating the Drip Advance box on the Members / Affiliates page. 

One scenario for this is you may wish to give review access to a course then you would edit that user updating their drip advance to the end of the drip sequence. 

For example if you had a 2 month sequence you may set it to 60 days which would advance that user by 60 days and allow them to skip the need for the drip sequence to play out.

The tutorial focuses on Page and Post Protection. If you are more interested in File Protection, view our Onsite File Protection tutorial and Remote File Protection tutorial.

Page & Post Protection Overview

Fast Member gives you 2 ways to protect the pages and posts on your WordPress membership site.

Directly on each page / post – there will be a meta box with a list of the available products. Simply checking the tick box next the product name and saving the post will now make that page / post protected as part of that product.

From within the Protected Content manager – Each product will display all the pages or posts published on your site. You can bulk select which pages / posts you wish to protect and add them to the Protected Content list. Once added the pages / posts will be protected as part of that product. 

You will notice in either option, at the same time as making the content protected you also have the option to drip feed the content. 

This makes it super quick and easy to manage your content protection and drip feeding options at the same time.

You can view the complete Drip Feed tutorial here to get a full understanding of how the Fast Member Drip Feed works.

Default Non Member / Expired Member Message

When a ‘Non Member’ or ‘Expired Member’ tries to access content that is protected then Fast Member will perform one of the following ‘non member actions’. 

Show Default Signip/Login Message – If they do not have access to that product then a default message will be displayed

Custom Message – You can display a customised message for each Non Member / Expired Member status to those members

Redirects

You can also choose 3 redirect types for both Non Members and Expired Members.

Redirect To Login Page – Will redirect the Member to the product login page.

Redirect To Sales Page – Will redirect the Member to the product sales page.

Redirect to a Page/Post – Will redirect the Member to the chosen page or post.

You can view a more detailed tutorial on Non Member and Expired Member actions here.

Onsite File Protection

This tutorial is for Onsite (On Server) File Protection. If you are looking for Remote File Protection, click here.

Onsite File Protection Overview

FastMember Onsite File Protection gives an easy to use, secure way for you to host protected files on the WordPress installation which can only be viewed or downloaded by authorized users such as members of your website. 

Setting up Onsite File Protection add on

Setting up this add on is quick and easy. Follow the steps below and you will have it set-up in no time. 

Step 1
Login to the root directory of your website using sftp/ftp and create a folder named ‘download’. 

Step 2
Inside the ‘download’ folder create a file named ‘.htaccess’. 

Step 3
Go to FastMember Protected Content, select any product from the product list and click on ‘Protected Files’ tab. Scroll down to the bottom and copy the code.

Step 4
Paste the lines you copied inside the ‘.htaccess’ file and save. 

Adding Files as Protected Content

Any file that needs to be protected must be copied into the ‘download’ folder which was created on the root of the website. 

Only the files that are added to the ‘download’ folder will be listed as eligible files on the ‘Protected Content’ tab in FastMember Content Protection page. 

Assigning Privileges to Membership products 

Assigning privileges to different membership products using the FastMember Onsite File Protection is as easy as picking the membership product and assigning files that members of that membership product can view. 

The steps below will guide you through assigning files to membership products. 

Step 1
Go to the Content Protection page on the FastMember menu. 

Step 2
Select the product from the products list you wish to assign file access privileges. 

Step 3
Navigate to the ‘Protected Content’ tab. 

Step 4
Select the files you need to provide access to and move them to the ‘Protected Files’ box. Finally save the changes. 

Drip Day feature will allow you to decide how long a member has to be registered for before he gets access to the file. 

As an example, if you only want to grant members who have been registered for thirty days, simply enter 30 on the field, before adding the file to the ‘Protected Files’ box. 

Adding the files to a web page is similar for all protected content. It is described here on Adding Protected Files To A Page tutorial. 

Feel free to let us know if you have any issues or concerns using any of our products by reaching us through the support page.

This tutorial is for Remote File Protection. If you are looking for Onsite (on-server) File Protection, click here.

FastMember Remote File Protection Overview 

Rather than uploading files to the same WordPress server, you can host them elsewhere (such as Amazon S3) and link those files to your system securely using the FastMember Remote File Protection System. 

For the purpose of this tutorial we will be considering Amazon S3 storage. However, the FastMember Remote File Protection supports all major storage service providers and the process is similar. 

By default, your WordPress website does not have secure access to AWS S3 buckets, by using Fast AWS add on you can integrate your website with AWS securely using AWS S3 API. This is a must if you need to access remote files on AWS. If you have not already, please follow the Fast AWS guide here before continuing with the tutorial below.  

Creating a S3 bucket on Amazon AWS

Amazon S3 is the storage solution by Amazon AWS. The steps below will guide you through setting up an Amazon S3 storage bucket. If you already have a bucket created you can skip this section.  

Step 1
Login to the Amazon AWS console and search for S3 in the find services field. 

Step 2
Click on the Create bucket button. 

Step 3
Give a name for the bucket and select your preferred region. Once you are done click next. 

Step 4
Default settings work fine on this page. Simply click next if you don’t have a requirement to change any settings on this page.

Step 5
Review the options you’ve selected for the S3 bucket and when you are satisfied click Create. 

Uploading Files to a S3 bucket on Amazon AWS

Now that you have created a S3 bucket, you need to upload files to it. You can skip to the next topic if you have already have files uploaded to S3. 

Step 1
Click on the bucket you just created to go inside it. 

Step 2
Click on Upload. 

Step 3
Click on Add files and select the files you wish to upload. Then click Next. 

Step 4
On this page you can set individual access for files. However, if no specific requirement is there you can simply click next. 

Step 5
Click upload to get the files uploaded. It might take some time depending on the file size and the number of files you are uploading. 

Linking files on S3 bucket to FastMember Remote File Protection

Once files are uploaded into the S3 bucket, you need to get the file paths of the files you need to link to FastMember remote File Protection System. Although there are various methods in getting file paths, the steps below will guide you in getting the files paths directly through the AWS Console and using CyberDuck. 

Copying links using Amazon Console

Step 1
Navigate inside the S3 bucket you have files stored and click on the file you wish to link to FastMember Remote File Protection.

Step 2
Scroll down and copy the Object URL. 

You need to do this for each file you wish to add to remote file protection system.

Copying links using CyberDuck

Advantage of using CyberDuck application is that it allows you to copy links of multiple files at once.

Step 1
Open CyberDuck and connect to your S3 bucket.

Step 2
Select the files you need to copy links of. You can do this by clicking on files while holding the ctrl button down on the keyboard.

Step 3
Right click on the files and go to copy URL, then in the box that opens click copy https.

Pasting links on Remote Content Protection

Step 1
Go to FastMember Protected Content and select the product you wish to edit. 

Step 2
Go to the Protected Remote Files tab and paste the link/links in the Add Files field. If you are adding more than one file at once, make sure to insert one link per line. Finally click ‘Add Files’.

Adding the files to a web page is similar for all protected content. It is described here on Adding Protected Files To A Page tutorial. 

Feel free to let us know if you have any issues or concerns using any of our products by reaching us through the support page.

When you run the Quick Start Wizard the content pages are created and structured using the WordPress parent/child page heirachy. This page structure is then used to create the default menu system on your WordPress site.

Using this menu system, the menus will dynamically update based on the products your members purchase and the drip feed days that the content becomes available

By making use of the Fast Member Shortcodes you can partially hide content on your site and show it to members when they purchase, upgrade or login.

This is particularly useful technique if you wish to display ‘teaser content’ which will entice your site visitors to register or upgrade in order to get full access.

Here is how to set this up:

Click the orange Shortcode icon from the classic WordPress post editor

Select ‘Partially Hidden Content’ from the Insert Shortcode for list

Select which products from the box. You can hold Ctrl or Shift to select multiple products

Choose if you want to display a ‘Member Only Message when the visitor doesn’t have access. This will display the Hidden Content Message which is added in the product settings

You can also set the shortcodes to display content to ‘Non Member’s’. This will work in the reverse way, displaying the content between the shortcodes until the member signs up.

Once they become a member of the product (or products) selected the non member content will disappear. This is useful if you have page specific content you want non members to see that differs from the Hidden Content Message that is added in the product settings.

When the ‘Insert Shortcode’ button is clicked a Shortcode will be added to the page as follows depending on which options you choose.

This will display the content between the Shortcodes for product 1 members and display the ‘Hidden Content Message’ from the product settings to non members.

This will display the content between the Shortcodes for members of products 1 or 3, but no Hidden Content Message will be displayed.

This will display the content between the shortcodes to anyone who is not a member of product 1. Once they join product 1 it will be hidden.
