First of all, T. Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia and Harry S Truman was born in Missouri, which disproves the argument that no Southerners were President when the KKK was influential. Second, there is documented evidence that Truman joined the Klan right after WWI.

McKinley, Wilson, Harding, and Coolidge are often accused of membership, but there is no proof.

None. The KKK was formed in the South after the Civil War to try re-establish some sort of white supremacy after Northern military rule stripped the white rebels of all political power, for many years. The KKK was a secret society , so the membership rolls are not known and likely some prominent Southern politicians were members in the years soon after the War, but no Southerners became President after the war until Lyndon Johhson and Jimmy Carter, and they lived long after the KKK had any importance.
