This post will demonstrate how to restrict content to users based on user levels. Content could be restricted by category, by tag, or by some other meta (such as a custom field).
This example will demonstrate “level” restriction by category, such as Silver, Gold, and Platinum categories. In this example, we will set up those levels so that the Gold level users have access to Gold & Silver, and Platinum level users have access to all of the content.

WordPress does not allow for users to change their username, so neither does WP-Members. However, it does allow for the use of “display name” which is the name that is displayed on the site when showing users’ names. The default install of WP-Members does not make use of display name. In fact, by default, it adds the user’s username to this field so that it is not empty in the database, just in case you are using that information somewhere else on the site (such as in a forum).
But what if you want to make use of the display name field? How can you add that to the front-end user profile in WP-Members.

However, in the case of the WP-Members Subscription Module with PayPal Integration, there are a number of reasons why (1) I am releasing it and (2) I am labeling it as an alpha release.
