have multiple levels of membership

[carlos]

is it possible for a person to have several levels, so that they can access various content, or is the level rather a gold, silver, bronze, and is it only possible to have one level and access certain types of content?

thank you

Hi, unfortunately at present a member can only belong to one access level. However you can create one level to include all levels. For example:

Premium level = Gold, Silver, Bronze

thank you again!

Hi, the best way to achieve this is by following these examples below.

Gold level = Gold level access content.
Silver level = Silver level access content.
Bronze level = Bronze level access content.
Platinum or Premium level = Gold + Silver + Bronze access level.

Does the above make sense to you? I know it might not be the best method to achieve what you are looking for. Unfortunately this is the only way at the present to achieve something similar to what you are looking for.

How does one go about creating this “Platinum” level though, I’m not seeing a way to create a membership level that can encompass other levels. A cascading membership where Platinum can access lower tiers is exactly what I need.

UPDATE:
OK, so it looks like this is indeed possible, but not at the user level, but at the page/post or category level. For anyone else that is looking to do this, here is how.

First create each of the membership levels, for the sake of sanity I’ll stick with the following [bronze, silver, gold, platinum]. Then go ahead and create categories with the same names [bronze, silver, gold, platinum]. Now, lets assume this is the membership I’m looking for.

- Platinum
  - Gold
    - Silver
  - Bronze

This means the following members can be seen by the listed categories/pages/posts:

• Platinum -> Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze
• Gold -> Gold and Silver
• Bronze -> Bronze

Now the key to making this work is using the category protection section.
To make the Platinum part, select Platinum from the dropdown and put a check next to the Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze categories and press update. This will make Platinum see all 4 categories. Now just repeat the process for gold, silver, and bronze; while selecting the appropriate categories.

You will then have a cascading access level type system. Would be great if this was managed at the user level, but this will work for now
