Folders for MemberPress coupons and rules
A code for every sale, a code for every partner, a rule for every protected area. The lists are short at launch and much longer a few campaigns later.
Plathix PRO adds private folders to the MemberPress Coupons, Rules and Groups lists. File codes by campaign or partner, and rules by the part of the site they protect. What a coupon gives and what a rule protects stay as they are.
Every campaign leaves codes behind
When a sale ends, its codes usually stay: you need them for your records, or for the customer who writes a week later. Partner codes and one-off support codes join them in the same list.
MemberPress removes the Draft and Published tabs and the date filter from these lists. Search is the main way in. A folder gives you a second one.
Rules that multiply, and coupons by the thousand
People who run membership sites describe two lists that only grow: access rules and discount codes.
When each course, page or video gets its own rule, every new one adds another rule.
Set up item by item, one membership level alone can need forty rules.
Over 1,400 coupons, and they get hard to manage in the long run.
More than a hundred thousand old codes, used or expired, and the wish to just get rid of them.
Folders split the Coupons and Rules lists by campaign, partner or protected area. Old codes can stay for your records in a folder of their own.
Folders that match how you sell memberships
Coupons by campaign
One folder per sale: Black Friday, spring, launch week. Next year you start from last year’s folder, not from a search.
Partner codes
Each partner’s codes in one place, so “which codes did we give them?” has a quick answer.
Rules by protected area
Courses, downloads, member pages, the forum: file each rule by the part of the site it protects.
Groups by pricing page
Groups build the pages that compare memberships. Keep the live pages apart from tests and old versions.
Past campaigns
Expired codes go to an archive folder instead of being deleted, so the history stays.
Three MemberPress lists, three folder trees
Coupons
A tree on the Coupons list, for campaigns, partners and support codes.
Rules
Rules get their own tree, filed by what they protect.
Groups
A third tree for groups and the pricing pages they build.
Not Memberships
The Memberships list has an internal name longer than 17 characters, so Plathix cannot add folders to it.
MemberPress never sees your folders
| What you do | What changes | What stays as it is |
|---|---|---|
| Put a coupon in a folder | Its Plathix folder | The code, its discount, its limits and its dates |
| Put a rule in an “Old” folder | Its Plathix folder | What the rule protects: it works until you change it |
| Rename or move a folder | The folder tree in wp-admin | Checkout, pricing pages and member access |
| Trash a coupon, then restore it | Its Trash state | Its folder: it comes back to the same place |
| Turn Plathix PRO off | The lists look like plain WordPress | Your folders wait in the database and come back |
Folders have no URLs and never appear on pricing pages or at checkout.
How we test MemberPress folders
We run each check on a live site with Plathix PRO and the current MemberPress version, on the real MemberPress lists.
Status Planned
Results go to Plathix Lab. Each row turns into a link once it has run.
| Check | What we verify | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Enable three lists | Turn on coupons, rules and groups in Enabled Sections; a panel appears on each list. | Planned |
| Memberships | Memberships are not offered in Enabled Sections. | Planned |
| Folder column | Whether the Folder column shows next to MemberPress’s own columns. | Planned |
| Checkout | A coupon from a folder works at checkout as before. | Planned |
| Rules unchanged | A rule in a folder still protects the same content. | Planned |
| Trash and restore | A trashed coupon comes back to its folder. | Planned |
