Description
Dovetail adds basic yet beautiful membership tools to your WordPress website. Our intention with Dovetail was to create a membership plugin which stayed as close to the “WordPress Way” as possible, whilst also being extendable and powerful. Think WooCommerce for membership.
Our idea is that Dovetail should compliment other plugins rather than just blindly copy their functionality (otherwise, why have plugins?) Want customised login screens? Install the excellent “Theme My Login”. Customised signup? Gravity Forms with the User Registration add on. And so on.
Right now Dovetail’s fairly new, so there aren’t any payment gateways. We’re working on a PayPal one though with a view to eventually allow others to develop and payment gateway they choose and bolt it on.
Dovetail’s been lovingly crafted by Rigorous & Factory Pattern in the UK to service our clients’ membership needs; it was forged in the fire of client projects and tested in the often harsh real world. Install it, try it and let us know your ideas; we’re all ears.

- I want to theme the login pages. How do I do that?
-
Install “Theme My Login”. It’s a great little plugin that does just that and it works very well with Dovetail.
- Great. I’d love to have a customised signup form too.
-
We use Gravity Forms with the User Registration add on. Yes, it’s paid for, but it’s worth it if you want a great website!
If you’re not wild about parting with your cash then Dovetail should work nicely with any other plugin which lets you theme the WordPress user signup process.
- I need to skip checking whether a user can view a page on pages with a certain type; can I do that?
-
Just add “add_filter( “dovetail_skip_content_check”, ‘__return_true’, 10 );” (without the speech marks) above where it says “get_header” in the template file.
