Plans are the membership tiers your members subscribe to. Each plan defines a price, how it bills, an optional trial and signup fee, and — through rules and integrations — what it unlocks.
Where: WP Admin → Tiger Membership → Plans.
Plan attributes
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | The plan’s display name (e.g. “Pro”, “Annual”) |
| Slug | Auto-generated machine key used in shortcodes, blocks and CSV import |
| Description | Short blurb shown on the pricing card |
| Price | Amount charged, in your configured currency (stored internally in cents) |
| Billing model | Free, One-time, Recurring, or Installments |
| Interval | For recurring plans — Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly |
| Trial days | Optional free trial length before the first charge |
| Signup fee | Optional one-off fee added to the first payment |
| Active members | Live count of members currently active or trialing on the plan |
Billing models
- Free — no charge; the member is activated immediately.
- One-time — a single payment grants access.
- Recurring — a subscription that renews each interval (needs a real gateway such as Stripe to auto-renew).
- Installments — a fixed price collected across several scheduled payments.
Course access (with Tiger LMS)
When Tiger LMS is active, each plan gains a Course Access action — map the plan to one or more LMS courses so subscribing grants enrollment automatically. This is the membership → LMS bridge.
Create a plan
- Go to Plans and click New plan.
- Enter a name, optional description and price, and choose a billing model.
- For recurring plans, pick the interval (Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Yearly).
- Optionally set trial days and a signup fee.
- Save — the plan is now available in the pricing block/widget and at checkout.
- (Optional) With Tiger LMS active, open Course Access to attach the courses the plan unlocks.
Troubleshooting
A plan I created isn’t offered at checkout or in the pricing table.
Only active plans render. Confirm the plan’s status is active and, for the pricing widget/block, that at least one active plan exists.
A recurring plan charged once and never renewed.
Recurring renewal requires a card on file. On the built-in Manual gateway there is nothing to charge — configure Stripe (or another real gateway) so renewals and dunning run automatically.
Members on the plan don’t get course access.
Course Access appears only when Tiger LMS is active. Open the plan’s Course Access action and attach the courses; existing members inherit access on their next resolve.
