First, thank you so much for this plug-in. It has gone very well for me. I have about 300 Patrons and they can all easily access my Patreon only posts and pages. So far so good. Here is my current issue…
Some people have donated in the past or even sent me a check for a years membership and claimed to either not want to use Patreon or for some other reason. This is a problem because they want me to send them links to videos, post etc. but I can’t do that. If they try and log-in, they have no Patreon credentials and so they are blocked. I looked into gifted Patron accounts or another way to allow them access to the Patrons only posts but no luck so far.
If I add PMP, am I to believe that this will create a way for people who aren’t Patrons but who sign-up at my site to access content? Another question, let’s say I have three people who I need to give access. They have already paid me. Can I use PMP to add them as members? Or is it like Patreon, where they need to actually be members? Does this make sense? For example, I cannot just add those three people to Patreon because they do not have accounts and aren’t Patrons. So, is the same true for PMP or I can add people at will even if they mailed me a check or paid me in cash?
