Bundle content into groups and assign them to subscription tiers.

Access Groups

Location: MediaBlaster → Subscriptions → Access Groups tab

Access groups bundle content for entitlement checks. Tiers link to groups — subscribers on a tier can watch content tagged with any of that tier's groups.

Creating an access group

  1. Open Access Groups and click Add New.
  2. Enter Name and optional Description.
  3. Slug is derived from the name if left empty.
  4. Save and confirm the success notice.

If save fails silently, subscription database tables may be missing — reload any wp-admin page to trigger automatic repair, then try again.

Linking groups to tiers

Edit a tier under Tiers and assign one or more access groups. A subscriber on that tier receives access to all videos requiring those groups (or the tier itself).

Per-video overrides

On individual posts, the Subscription Access metabox can require a specific access group or tier beyond defaults.

Use cases
