Create Member-Specific RSS Feeds for Paid Memberships Pro

Description

RSS feeds, including those created by plugins like Blubrry PowerPress, are filtered to hide member content. Enclosures, like mp3 URLs, are hidden as well.

All members are given a "memberkey" that can be attached to the end of a feed URL that will allow access to the full member RSS feed.

E.g. of a feed URL with a member key: http://www.yoursite.com/feed/podcast/?memberkey=58efacdc83d88e3edf8e31f4b4f5806e

There are no protections currently to keep users from sharing their feed URLs, but future improvements could include monitoring use of the memberkeys and deactivating ones that show signs of abuse.

Features:

• Create Member-Specific RSS Feeds for Paid Memberships Pro.
• View your RSS feeds on the Membership Account page.
• Add or remove as many RSS feed links as you want.

When the plugin is active, a link will be created under the Member Links section of every members' Membership Account page with the memberkey attached. This special RSS feed will only contain membership restricted content which that user has access to, and filter out the rest (including unprotected posts).

Additional RSS feeds can be added with the pmpromrss_feeds filter. See example here: https://gist.github.com/messica/960b6365905a91a2a68b

Installation

1. Upload the pmpro-member-rss directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory of your site.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

Changelog

1.0 - 2026-04-08

• FEATURE: Added "Allow Memberkey as Basic Auth Password" setting. Members can use their memberkey as the password field in Basic Authentication, allowing RSS readers without application password support to authenticate securely.
• FEATURE: Added "Disable Memberkey in URL" setting. When enabled, feed authentication via the memberkey URL parameter is blocked and members must use Basic Authentication instead.
• FEATURE: Added [pmpromrss_feeds] shortcode and "Member RSS Feeds" PMPro page setting. Provides a dedicated member-facing page for feed management, key display, regeneration, and authentication guidance.
• ENHANCEMENT: When the feeds page is configured, the Membership Account page "Member RSS Feed" links to the dedicated page instead of inline feed URLs.
• ENHANCEMENT: Updated the regenerate key confirmation to mention that RSS readers will need to be updated.
• ENHANCEMENT: Improved messaging/hint around the Feed Authentication settings to clarify how to authenticate RSS feeds, including both Edit Member Panel and Frontend instructions.

0.4 - 2026-02-12

• FEATURE: Added in logic that you may pass basic header authentication to access the feed. Please use Application Passwords for authentication and not your main password. This is a more secure way to allow access to the feed without sharing your memberkey.

• ENHANCEMENT: Added better support for Paid Memberships Pro 3.0+, includes adding the option to the Edit Member Profile Page as well as the Edit Member Panel.
