Paid Memberships Pro - Limit Post Views Add On

The Limit Post Views Add On is an official extension of Paid Memberships Pro that allows you to limit the number of times unregistered visitors can view protected posts on your WordPress site. Inspired by the paywalls of major media outlets like The New York Times and Harvard Business Review, this add-on helps you convert occasional readers into subscribed members naturally and effectively.

The add-on works by using cookies that track each visitor's views. From the settings page, you can set the number of free views per period (hour, day, week, or month) for both non-members and each membership level on your site. This means you can offer an access limit to anonymous visitors and a different limit to members of lower levels, thereby encouraging upgrades to higher plans.

When a user reaches their viewing limit, they are automatically redirected to the page you designate, usually the Membership Levels page, where they can register or upgrade their plan to continue reading. This approach, similar to that of major digital media, does not completely block access to your content but gently encourages recurring readers to create an account and subscribe.

• Limits views of protected posts per configurable period
• Sets different limits for non-members and each membership level
• Automatically redirects users who reach their limit to the page you choose
• Improves subscription conversions by showcasing the value of your premium content
• Benefits SEO and indexing by keeping content visible to search engines
• Integrates seamlessly with the Paid Memberships Pro ecosystem

This add-on is ideal for news sites, premium content blogs, digital magazines, and any membership site that wants to implement a paywall-style limited access model. By showing visitors a sample of your quality content before asking them to subscribe, you increase the likelihood of conversion and build a more engaged audience with your brand.
