PMPro Developer – Social Login + Metered Job Access.

I run a large WordPress platform focused on conservation careers. Many visitors land directly on job listings from Google, but most jobs are behind a membership paywall. As a result, many visitors bounce immediately.

The goal of this project is to implement a friction-free free membership signup system that allows visitors to quickly create an account using social login, view a limited number of jobs, and then be prompted to upgrade.

The solution must integrate cleanly with Paid Memberships Pro (PMPro) and use PMPro add-ons wherever possible, with minimal custom development.

Key goals:

• Reduce bounce rate on job pages
• Allow instant free membership creation via social login
• Allow visitors to view a limited number of jobs before upgrading

Current Website Setup

Platform: WordPress
Membership plugin: Paid Memberships Pro (PMPro)
Job system: WP Job Manager

Access to non-featured jobs is restricted using PMPro membership shortcodes within job pages. Featured jobs remain publicly accessible.

Development Workflow

The site publishes new content daily, so development must follow a safe workflow.

Requirements:

• All work must be done on staging first
• Fully tested before production deployment
• We cannot push staging to live, as new content is added daily
• Changes must be deployed safely without overwriting database/content updates

This means implementing changes via plugins, code snippets, or configuration, and carefully replicating the changes on production.

Desired User Experience

Signup must be extremely friction-free.

Visitors should be able to create a free account with one click using social login, then immediately view jobs.

Free members should be able to view 3 non-featured job listings before being prompted to upgrade.

Signup Entry Points

There are three locations where signup should occur.

1. Locked Job Page (External Traffic)

Visitor lands on a non-featured job from Google.

Instead of simply seeing locked content, they see messaging such as:

“Create a free account to view this job and two more.”

The page should include:

• clear messaging
• embedded social login buttons
• simple signup CTA

After signup:

• account is created automatically
• user receives PMPro free membership
• user is redirected back to the job page

2. Clicking a Restricted Job from Search Results

When a logged-out visitor clicks a non-featured job from job search results, they should be prompted to create a free account via social login before accessing the job.

After signup they should be redirected to the job page.

3. Global Social Login Popup

When browsing the site while logged out, a social login popup should appear automatically (similar to ManyChat).

If the user is already logged into a provider, it should detect this and show:

“Continue as [Google account]”

Account creation should happen with one click.

Social Login

Use PMPro Social Login with multiple providers where possible (Google, LinkedIn, etc.).

The system should detect existing social logins and allow single-click account creation.

Metered Job Viewing

Use PMPro Limit Post Views.

Requirements:

• Free users can view 3 non-featured job posts
• Featured jobs remain public
• Metering applies only to non-featured jobs
• Jobs are managed with WP Job Manager

After the limit is reached, users should be prompted to upgrade.

Locked Job Page UX

Designing the highest-converting locked job experience is an important part of this project.

We will likely test multiple versions of:

• messaging
• layout
• signup buttons
• placement of social login

This will be an iterative process we work on together.

UX experience is a strong advantage.

Deliverables

• Social login signup using PMPro add-ons
• Automatic assignment of free membership
• Metered viewing of non-featured job posts
• Redirect to job page after signup
• Locked job page signup experience
• Global social login popup
• Full staging implementation
• Safe deployment to production
