The Add Member From Admin add-on is an official extension of the Paid Memberships Pro ecosystem that allows administrators and membership managers to create new members directly from the WordPress dashboard in a single step. Designed for membership site owners who need to manage manual sign-ups, this add-on eliminates the need to first create a user and then assign a membership level separately.
With this add-on, the administrator accesses a new page called Add Member under the Memberships menu in the WordPress dashboard. From there, they can fill out a unified form that includes user account details (email, generated or custom password, first name, last name, and role), the desired membership level, expiration date, payment method (cash or check), order total, and additional notes. Upon submitting the form, the user account is created and activated immediately, and the member appears in the member list with the assigned membership settings.
This add-on is especially useful for sites where registration is done in person, by phone, or through offline processes, as well as for cases where the administrator needs to add a member without them going through the standard frontend registration flow. It also allows you to record orders associated with the membership, which can then be managed from the Orders section of Paid Memberships Pro.
The add-on is easily installed from the Add Ons section within the Paid Memberships Pro plugin itself, or manually by uploading the ZIP file. It is a practical and straightforward tool for those looking to optimize the administrative management of their memberships without complications.
