About

I’m Iain Poulson, Owner of WP User Manager

I’m a WordPress developer and business owner based in England. I’ve been building with WordPress for over 18 years and running WordPress businesses for over 15.

These days I’m the product manager for Advanced Custom Fields at WP Engine. ACF is one of the most popular plugins in WordPress, used on over 2 million sites. Before that I worked at Delicious Brains on ACF, WP Migrate and WP Offload Media, and at Saturday Drive, the makers of Ninja Forms.

Alongside WP User Manager, I co-run FlipWP, a marketplace for buying and selling WordPress businesses.

The Story behind WP User Manager

Alessandro Tesoro created WP User Manager in 2015. He developed and supported it until I acquired it in September 2019.

He built it to make membership management in WordPress simple: front-end registration and login, plus a members area where users manage their own profiles.

I’ve now looked after it for 7 years. It runs on over 10,000 sites, and it’s grown to include paid memberships through Stripe and a library of addons for custom fields, registration forms, content restriction and more. It’s actively developed, has dedicated support, is translated into many languages and is friendly to developers. In my opinion it’s still the most customizable profile and community plugin for WordPress.

Please drop me a line if you have any questions.
