This feature is available on website builders that support data attributes (like Webflow, Duda, Carrd, HTML).

What and Why?

When you create a new type of members-only content, Memberstack automatically creates an attribute you can use to hide elements on a page (instead of the entire page). This is handy if you want to place some members-only content on a public-facing page. It could be a button, a video, a banner message, a coupon, etc.

Note: If Memberstack fails to load, this content will be visible to everyone. We don't recommend hiding extremely sensitive information with Memberstack.
  

How?

Tag members-only content

data-ms-content="contentID"

You can find the "contentID" at the bottom of the memberships page after you create some members-only content.

For example...

Elements with the data-ms-content ="basic" attribute are only visible to members with a basic membership.
‍

Hide content from a particular membership

data-ms-content="!contentID"

You can create this attribute by adding an "!" before the value. It's the opposite of members-only content.

For example...

Elements with a data-ms-content="!basic" attribute are hidden from members with the basic membership.

Hide content from all active members

data-ms-content="!members"

Content with the data-ms-content="!members" attribute are hidden from all active members no matter what membership they have, e.g. signup links.
