My WordPress site runs on the Newspaper theme with the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin. Three things need immediate attention: • Content that should be restricted is currently visible to everyone. • The free-tier membership I offer no longer registers or assigns the correct role. • The subscription page is cluttered with messages I never configured. Payments and log-ins work, so the focus is purely on access rules and page display. Your task is to restore the intended content protection, get the free plan registering properly, and remove any unwanted notices. Please work in a staging environment first and document every change you make—whether it’s a plugin setting, shortcode adjustment, functions.php tweak, or CSS edit—before moving anything to production. Acceptance criteria – Non-subscribers and logged-out visitors see only teaser text or the “subscribe” prompt, never full protected content. – Free membership registration completes without errors and automatically assigns the proper user role. – The subscription page shows only the copy and elements I intentionally placed there—no extra warnings, promos, or system messages. If you have recent experience combining Paid Member Subscriptions with tagDiv’s Newspaper theme, you’ll likely solve this quickly. Please let me know your estimated turnaround time so we can move fast.
