David Parker

Lead Developer of Paid Memberships Pro — an open-source membership and subscription platform for WordPress.

I work day-to-day on the core PMPro plugin and its ecosystem: designing features, reviewing and shipping code, maintaining backwards compatibility, and making sure real membership sites keep running smoothly through years of updates.


What I do at PMPro

  • Maintain the PMPro core plugin
  • Design and implement membership, subscription, and payment workflows
  • Lead feature development, bug fixes, and releases
  • Review and merge community contributions
  • Maintain APIs, hooks, and extensibility patterns for add-ons
  • Balance modern improvements with long-term stability for existing sites

If it touches PMPro core, chances are I’ve worked on it.


Areas of focus

  • Membership levels, access control, and content protection
  • Subscription billing and payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
  • Upgrade paths, data integrity, and backwards compatibility
  • Admin UX for site owners and developers
  • Extensible architecture for add-ons and custom integrations

Core project

An actively maintained WordPress plugin powering thousands of membership sites, built in public and improved continuously through open-source collaboration.


How I think about software

  • Ship features that solve real problems for real site owners
  • Prefer boring, well-understood solutions over clever ones
  • Treat backwards compatibility as a feature
  • Optimize for maintainability over hype
  • Open source works best when someone is accountable for it
