I’m just tapping into the world of ghost.
I want to use my install to share updates about my family with a selected group of people, like tinybeans but self-hosted. The members feature & a comment plugin like isso seem to be a good way for that.
One thing I would like is more to control over user sign ups. I don’t want to introduce a paid tier, but rather manually permit new, free members to gain access to members only posts.
In short:
I will not add paid membership, so sending them through stripe is not an option
I want easy signup for members (as it is possible in vanilla)
Manual control of being permitted to the free membership by me or the other members of staff
Yeah that worked. I disabled all paid plans and used the complimenteray premium membership feature. My stripe account is in dev mode, so no payment details were added. It’s hacky, but works.
Now I want to add custom strings to the signup and sign in overlays, so that visitors learn that they won’t have to pay.
I’m interested in a similar feature. We are building a blog website where we would like to publish public news / updates and private company related updates to “paid” members (investors). Is there a way to set member.paid == true for some members?
