About Paid Memberships Pro – Limit Post Views Add On 0.6

Limit Post Views is an add-on for Paid Memberships Pro. It is designed to cap the number of protected posts a person can open, which suits a metered model: let people read a few pieces, then ask them to join or upgrade.

It needs Paid Memberships Pro active. The file on record is version 0.6 from November 2018, and the listing says nothing about its settings, so check the readme in the package. Test it with your current WordPress and PMPro versions on a staging site, including how it counts views for visitors who are logged out.

Requirements

Paid Memberships Pro

Key features

Limits post views: Caps how many protected posts a person can view.
Fits metered access: Useful for a few-free-articles model before a signup prompt.
Add-on to Paid Memberships Pro: It builds on PMPro's levels and content restriction.
Details in the package: The listing doesn't state the period or per-level options; the readme covers them.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Publishers on Paid Memberships Pro that want a metered paywall
Sites that let non-members sample content before joining

Look elsewhere if

Sites that want content fully hidden from non-members
Sites that don't use Paid Memberships Pro

How to install Paid Memberships Pro – Limit Post Views Add On 0.6

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.

Notes for this product

Install and activate Paid Memberships Pro first. Test with caching off, since page caching can interfere with view counting.

Setup: using Paid Memberships Pro – Limit Post Views Add On 0.6

Activate Paid Memberships Pro. Make sure PMPro is active and restricts at least one post or category.
Install the add-on. Upload and activate it, then find its limit settings in the Memberships admin.
Set the limit. Choose how many views are allowed and for which level, following the readme.
Test as a visitor. Open protected posts in a private window until the limit triggers, and check what the visitor sees.

Common problems and fixes

The limit never triggers, or resets unexpectedly

Why it happens: Page caching serves saved copies of posts, so the add-on never counts the view.
How to fix it: Exclude restricted posts from caching, clear the cache and test again in a private window.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

Why it happens: The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it: Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Why it happens: Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it: Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.

Licence or “updates unavailable” notices

Why it happens: The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it: Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
