This is a big one. With the release of SureMembers Core 1.0.0 and SureMembers Pro 3.0.0, SureMembers has been restructured into two dedicated plugins. This change sets a stronger foundation for everything coming next, while keeping your existing membership experience exactly as it is.

Introducing SureMembers Core

SureMembers Core is the new foundational plugin that powers the platform. It handles the shared framework and infrastructure that everything else is built on. By giving this its own dedicated plugin, we can build, scale, and maintain the platform much more efficiently going forward.

SureMembers is now SureMembers Pro

The plugin you already know and use is now called SureMembers Pro. It extends SureMembers Core with all the advanced membership features you rely on: content protection, access management, and premium integrations.

Why the change?

This structure gives the team more room to innovate without slowing things down. Here’s what it unlocks:

• A more solid foundation to build upcoming features on, including Corporate Accounts and user/membership import and export.
• Better long-term stability and maintainability.
• Faster delivery of improvements and new functionality.
• A scalable setup for everything planned ahead.

This release is the groundwork. A lot of exciting things are coming, and they’re being built on top of this.
