Member Level Status in WishList Member

Membership Level Status - WishList Member

A member can have one or many membership levels assigned to their account and each level can have its own level status. The level and its status can be used to control which protected content that member can access.

For example, if a member has the Gold level assigned to their account and their level status for the Gold level is “Active”, that member can access protected content assigned to the Gold level. But if that member has a level status of “Cancelled” or “Expired” for the Gold level, that member cannot access the protected content assigned to the Gold level.

You can view the level status for any member in the Members > Manage section in WishList Member.

Membership Level Status

You'll see a list of the membership level(s) assigned to each member and an icon appears beside each level to indicate the level status for that specific level for that specific member. You can hover over any icon to see the level status appear.

Membership Levels will be displayed when viewing the Members list in Collapsed or Expanded view. Levels are not displayed in Minimal view.

This screenshot example shows the Members list in Collapsed view and a member with a level status or “Active” for the Platinum level.

Membership Level Status

Membership Level Status

Each level status controls member access to the level. An example of each icon is displayed below and represents a level status.

ActiveCancelledExpiredUnconfirmedNeeds Approval

Active. A member has an Active status for the membership level. Their membership is not awaiting approval or confirmation for any reason (does not require admin approval or email confirmation). The Active level status means the member can access any protected content assigned to that level.

Cancelled. A member has a Cancelled status for a membership level. A level can be cancelled manually or cancelled automatically if the level is integrated with a payment provider and a payment fails. The Cancelled level status means the member cannot access any protected content assigned to that level. The level status will be changed to Active if this level status is uncancelled.

Expired. A member has an Expired status for a membership level. If a membership level has an expiration option enabled and the member has met the criteria for the level to expire, the member will have the Expired level status. For example, a level set to expire 7 days after registration and the member registered 9 days ago. The Expired level status means the member cannot access any protected content assigned to that level.

Unconfirmed. A member has an Unconfirmed status for a membership level. If a membership level requires an email confirmation from the member and the member has not yet confirmed their registration, the member will have the Unconfirmed level status. The Unconfirmed level status means the member cannot access any protected content assigned to that level. The level status will be changed to Active once the access has been confirmed.

Needs Approval. A member has a Needs Approval status for a membership level. If a membership level requires admin approval and the member has not yet been approved, the member will have the Needs Approval level status. The Needs Approval level status means the member cannot access any protected content assigned to that level. The level status will be changed to Active once the access has been approved.

Additional Status

There are also additional statuses for members that will appear in the Members > Manage section in WishList Member. These additional statuses appear under the Status column on the right side of the members list. The statuses are displayed as one icon for Sequential Upgrade and one icon for Email Broadcasts.

WishList Member - Sequential Upgrade and Email Broadcast Status

The letter icon represents Email Broadcast status and the link icon represents Sequential Upgrade status.

You can set these statuses to be active or inactive for individual members by clicking the corresponding icon for the member in the Status column. There is also a bulk edit option to adjust the sequential upgrade and email broadcast statuses for multiple members at once.

WishList Member - Sequential Upgrade and Email Broadcast Status

Sequential Upgrade. A member has an Active or Inactive Sequential Upgrade status for their account. If the status is Active, this will allow members to progress through any applicable Sequential Upgrades (if you have created a Sequential Upgrade). If the status is Inactive, this will prevent members from progressing through any applicable Sequential Upgrades (if you have created a Sequential Upgrade).

Email Broadcast. A member has an Active or Inactive Email Broadcast status for their account. If the status is Active, this will allow members to be sent emails you send through the Email Broadcast feature (if you send any Email Broadcasts). If the status is Inactive, this will prevent members from being sent emails you send through the Email Broadcast feature (if you send any Email Broadcasts).

A member can have multiple levels assigned to their account and the level status is used to determine if they can access the protected content.
