Builders Account Requirements

To create a builder or membership account on a WordPress site, there are several requirements and recommended steps you should follow to ensure proper setup and secure access[1][3]:

  • Install WordPress: You need to have a WordPress installation ready, which typically involves securing a domain name, a hosting plan, and completing the basic WordPress setup process through your host or by manual installation[4][6].
  • User Registration: Use a plugin like Profile Builder to create customizable front-end registration forms. This lets users register builder or membership accounts directly from the website[1]. You can set specific user roles, such as “builder,” upon registration by using shortcode arguments.
  • Email Confirmation and Custom Email Notifications: Enable email verification for new accounts and configure the notifications users and admins receive to improve account security and onboarding[1].
  • Password Requirements: Enforce strong password policies by setting minimum password length and complexity. This helps safeguard accounts against unauthorized access[1].
  • Assign User Roles: When users register, ensure they are assigned the appropriate role for builders. You can use role-editing features or relevant shortcodes in your membership or profile builder plugin[1].
  • Redirects and User Flow: Customize where users are redirected after login or registration. This can streamline the experience for builders, sending them to a dashboard or onboarding page[1].
  • Profile Management: Allow members to update their profiles, including uploading avatars and editing their information via front-end forms[1].
  • Content Restriction: Restrict access to certain pages or features based on user roles so that only registered builders can access specific tools or content[1][3].
  • Site and Plugin Requirements: For builders using advanced page builders like WPBakery, ensure your server meets requirements such as PHP 7.4+, MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.4+, HTTPS support, and a minimum of 256MB memory limit. Browser compatibility should also be considered for optimal editing experience[7].

When setting up these requirements, always refer to your chosen plugin’s documentation and ensure your hosting environment is compatible with your site’s needs and user base.
