How to make your Paid Member Subscriptions forms GDPR compliant
By checking this option, the admin bar will be removed from all logged-in users except Administrators.
This is a hidden field that is meant to reduce spam registrations on your website. By enabling this, a hidden field will be added to your registration form. Since it is hidden, only a bot could fill it. At the moment this happens, the registration process will be forbidden.
This option will enable the Labels Edit functionality.
By default, regular users cannot access the admin dashboard. This option disables that redirect.

Opt in to our security and feature updates notifications, and non-sensitive diagnostic tracking.
By enabling this option, all the dates displayed in Paid Member Subscriptions will have the date format selected in WordPress Settings → General → Date Format.
Use this option to clean up the postmeta table from data that was added unnecessarily. This tool should be used only once, so it will disappear after it is used.
When this setting is enabled, Paid Member Subscriptions will let you enforce a minimum password length and strength on our forms (e.g., Registration form, Account form, Recover Password form).
This setting allows you to enforce a minimum password length on the Registration, Account, and Recover Password forms.
Simply enter the minimum number of characters the password should have, or leave it empty for no minimum limit.
You can also set a minimum password strength to make sure users don’t register with weak passwords.
Once users try to register, edit their profile, or change their password, they will be prompted with a password strength meter to make sure they choose a safe password.
We’re using the existing password strength meter from the WordPress core because it’s one of the most accurate in deciding what makes a strong password.
Paid Member Subscriptions makes sure all registration forms throw errors if the password strength restrictions aren’t met.
By default, in certain cases, the Expiration Date when editing a Subscription is hidden. Check this option to make it always appear.
You should only enable this option if you are following the advice of our support team or you are sure that you know what you are doing.
By default, inactive subscription plans are not included in the content restriction metabox. Check this option to include and make them available for selection.
When a payment is refunded in the payment gateway, by default, the subscription will expire. Check this option to prevent the subscription from expiring automatically.
This option allows you to reset the cron jobs that are being used on your website. It can be useful in case a subscription auto-renewal fails, for example. Sometimes, the cron can be the cause of these kinds of issues, so resetting them will fix it. You can read more about Cron-Jobs on this page.
By enabling this option, the plugin will load its scripts and styles only on the pages that you select, helping speed up your website in general.
After the option is enabled, you are required to select every page that contains a Paid Member Subscriptions shortcode in order for everything to work correctly.
If you are using Stripe, this option will also make sure that the Stripe JS library is only loaded on the selected pages.
How to configure and enable reCAPTCHA.
By default, we show the Renew button inside the [pms-account] shortcode 15 days before a user’s subscription is due to expire. With this option, you can make it show sooner or later.
This will redirect the user to a page with payment information in case they select the Manual/Offline payment gateway. You have to enter the full URL of the page to which you want to redirect the users.
When the plugin redirects to this page, the URL will also contain the following parameters:
These can be used inside the page in order to show some relevant information to the user.
By default, a user will not be charged when you have a subscription plan with a sign-up fee if he is already subscribed to a subscription and they upgrade/downgrade the subscription plan. With this option, the user will be charged a sign-up fee when they upgrade/downgrade their subscription plan.
