Payment Page not accessible to anonymous users in Wordpress

Question

[I have updated some information following Tamara's answer, but it is still not accessible by anonymous users]

I need people to be able to be able to sign up and pay for membership.

1. I set up a CiviCRM Membership and a Price Set for the membership
2. I created a profile (including custom fields) for the membership registration
3. I ticked the box that says 'Account Creation Required' under WordPress user account registration option for the profile [Update: one of the profile fields is Email (Primary)]
4. . I've set up a CiviCRM Payment Page for membership fees using above profile. [UPDATE: I set up some Word Replacements, hence Payment page not Contribution page.]
5. I've checked the permissions for Anonymous Users to create, edit, view profiles.
6. CiviCRM: Access all custom data fields checked for Anonymous
7. CiviCRM: access contact reference fields is checked for Anonymous users [Update: I'm using address details from Contacts]
8. CiviContribute: make online contributions is checked for Anonymous user
9. [Update] CiviCRM: Profile listings and forms: is checked for Anonymous user
10. I've created a Wordpress page and used the CiviCRM shortcode to add the payment page

When I access that page logged in, it displays no problem. Logged out, it's coming up with the civiCRM alert 'You do not have permission to access this page.'

When this happened before for another civiCRM profile I set up (with no payment), it was because I had not ticked 'Create' within the civiCRM shortcode options for Profiles; as soon as I did that, anonymous users could you see the page and fill in the form and create an account.

However, with a payment page, I'm not seeing an option for 'Create'.

How do a I set up a page where people can sign up for membership, create an account in Wordpress, and pay the fee all at the same time when not logged in?

Any help much appreciated.

The page in question.

Cheers, Tracy

Answer 1

Since you have questions regarding the specific steps you took, I copy and paste all of them below and intersperse with my responses (IN BOLD CAPS for clarity):

1. I set up a CiviCRM Membership and a Price Set for the membership > GOOD
2. I created a profile (including custom fields) for the membership registration > GOOD
3. I ticked the box that says 'Account Creation Required' under WordPress user account registration option for the profile > YOU MUST INCLUDE A PRIMARY EMAIL ADDRESS FIELD IN THE PROFILE FOR THIS FEATURE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY
4. I've set up a CiviCRM Payment Page for membership fees using above profile. > GOOD
5. I've checked the permissions for Anonymous Users to create, edit, view profiles...> AS INDICATED HERE, YOU ALSO NEED TO ENABLE THE PERMISSION FOR PROFILE LISTINGS AND FORMS ...and Access all custom data fields (Not sure this is necessary?) > YES, THIS TOO IS NECESSARY
6. CiviCRM: access contact reference fields is checked for Anonymous users > UNLESS YOU ARE USING CONTACT REFERENCE FIELDS IN YOUR PROFILE, THIS IS NOT NECESSARY
7. CiviCRM: add contributions of type Campaign Contribution is checked for Anonymous users > UNLESS YOU ARE USING THE FINANCIAL TYPE OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION FOR MEMBERSHIP DUES, THIS IS NOT NECESSARY
8. CiviContribute: make online contributions is checked for Anonymous user > GOOD
9. CiviCRM: access Contact Dashboard is checked for Anonymous user (not sure if necessary?) > AS INDICATED HERE, THIS PERMISSION SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN TO ANONYMOUS USER
10. I've created a Wordpress page and used the CiviCRM shortcode to add the payment page > IF YOU HAVE ALL OF THE REQUIRED FIELDS IN PLACE PERMISSIONS ENABLED AND THIS STILL ISN'T WORKING FOR YOU, PERHAPS YOU SHOULD TRY USING ONE OF THE OTHER OPTIONS FOR LINKING YOUR MEMBERSHIP PAGE TO YOUR WEBSITE AS INDICATED HERE

Hope this helps! Tamar

After ensuring that all the permission settings were correct, I still couldn't see my CiviContribute form unless I was logged in.

But, once I disabled the Administer|CiviContribute|CiviContribute Component Settings|Enable Access Control by Financial Type checkbox, I was able to view and use the CiviContribute form anonymously.
