Hi! Blair here.

Today, I'm pleased to declare today that WishList Products has been accepted into Caseproof! This is a huge boost for the Membership software WishList Member(tm) and LMS plugin CourseCure will now be part of our growing family of products.

If you've been keeping an eye on us and paying attention, then you've noticed that we bought the amazing enterprise-grade plugin MemberMousein February.

Similar to MemberMouse as with the majority of Caseproof products WishList Products is now part of the WPBeginner Growth Accelerator which is led by my partner and investor Syed Balkhi.

This is an important thing. WishList Member(tm) is the original membership plug-in... truly far ahead of the curve. The plugin is now in good competition with Caseproof's top product HTML0and sister product MemberMouse.

I am beyond thrilled to be part of the team that is now set and ready to help WishList Member(tm) to make the history books... yet again!

For clarity, as with MemberMouse and  our other membership plugins, the goal for WishList is not to stop using WishList, nor to integrate it with a different membership plugin.

One of the things we'll be doing, though, is integrate the powerful LMS plug-in CourseCure to WishList Member(tm), making WishList Member a fully-featured, robust way to monetize later in the year.

We aim to support our amazing WishList client base, and to expand the platform alongside our other offerings.

What is the reason I chose WishList Member(tm)

This is the truth. WishList Member(tm) was a pioneer. It was the very first membership plugin I've ever had which really inspired me to get more involved with WordPress.

The experience showed me that an application plugin can act as an effective catalyst capable of changing WordPress into a sophisticated platform for membership.

Ever since then (and all the while growing my own membership software, ), I've had a soft spot for WishList Member(tm) - andits founders.

It is a certain "something"

As I view it the business world is an art. Companies and their products are masterpieces.

Go ahead. I'm not melodramatic. If you're an entrepreneur you know exactly what I'm trying to convey.

As a work of art, an item designed and maintained by a group that is truly passionate about the product will be far better.

Include an intense love between players towards the other, and you've got a game-changing opportunity you can count on.

There's somethingabout this.

and I'm convinced that "something" is true because I've watched our team expand and grow into the top-rated WordPress membership and monetization plugin on the planet during the past decade.

When the chance to purchase WishList became available and I had the opportunity to purchase it, I was initiallyinterested since (1) I had heard of the plugin in addition, (2) I've been in contact for a while with its co-creator, Tracy Childers.

ThenI had the chance to reconnect with the product and get to know the team. I immediately (and with perfect understanding) identified that specific "something" was in WishList.

Thiswas The Moment . This was the moment I was ready to sign in the line. No reservations.

So when it comes to defining WishList, I'd say that it's more about the "who" as opposed to"the "what". It's amazing because its people are phenomenal - the ones who created the plugin, as well as those who have been able to keep it running for the last years.

And I really mean all these years. Seriously.

When you consider that we're at towards the end of two decades There's no doubt about that the enduring power of WishList is impressive in the least!

And what's WishList is all about?

The year was 2008 and Stu McLaren and Tracy Childers set out with a vision to...

  1. help creators protect and monetize the value of their content.
  2. giving a seamless experience to users simultaneously.

After more than 15 years, WishList is STILL one of the most requested options to build and manage websites for members with WordPress.

I've had contact with Stu and Tracy since about the year. About the time I started work on  the project, I almost signed for the position of WishList's chief developer. However, the timing wasn't just right.

In the end, I'll have to wait twelve more years for the opportunity to get back on the WishList Member(tm) again.

In the end, I was too busy working on my work on the Caseproof range of products that I was a bit out of touch with the things WishList was doing. However, when I finally had the opportunity to examine the status of the product, I was blown away!

Through the years Over the past few years, the WishList Member(tm) has been through MAJOR releases and feature enhancements in order to be the product it is today: an exceptionally well-designed and developed product.

It features an amazing user-friendly interface, a robust feature set as well as effortless integration with pretty much all of the major online shopping gateways out there.

For that and many other reasons it is an excellent option for any kind of businesses who are looking to sign up for memberships.

(And there's plenty of those out there at the moment!)

A silver bullet solution, all the way around

WishList Member(tm) offers an amazing feature list. No boxes unchecked. No corners cut on quality.

There is...

  • custom membership levels
  • flexible pricing structures
  • drilled into content dripping
  • an almost endless number of integrations
  • Fine-grained content access restrictionscapable that can be tailored to the preferences and needs of any targeted public

You could say with WishList, you'll get everything you'd want from a Caseproof membership solution, but with a few amazingly unique features, like...

Built In Gamification (OH AHH! )

It is a trigger-based gamification tool, WishList Member(tm) is the only WordPress membership plugin with the full range of Points and Badges for site gamification.

The interface's modules let you set up trigger events that users must complete like the joining of a group, making comments, or even completing the course. After the user is completed with an action trigger and is rewarded with an award or number of points.

Users can use their points in a variety of methods - perhaps using points as currency to purchase access to the various membership levels or get badges that are only accessible after earning an amount of points.

You can see, the options for engaging engagements here are limitless.

The user interface that allows for setting up the awarding, awarding, and distributing badges and points are extremely powerful, but also incredibly easy to use.

Furthermore, take note of this And - here's the best part - WishList is included in the box with the set of auto-generated badges for typical membership website activities. So there's no need to pay a graphic artist to design your badges.

Users will begin awarding default badges on the first day, and then lie back and relax as engagement rises up to new heights!

CourseCure

If you're a fan, the WishList set of products includes CourseCure Online Course Creator, a course builder as well as an LMS that comes with every bells and whistles you'd want, including the epic badges and points system that I mentioned above.

CourseCure has other features, such as...

  • Course Builder
  • Quiz builder
  • Progression tracking
  • Previews of courses
  • Mobile responsiveness built-in

CourseCure approaches courses differently than Courses, and appeals to a wide variety of business owners, especially those who are interested in the concept of gamification.

Also, as I stated in the past, we are planning to merge CourseCure with WishList Member(tm) this year.

Into the Future

The Caseproof company's culture is built around a commitment to giving the incredible creators of the WordPress business community the finest ways to generate revenue.

This commitment is why...

To ensure our dedication is never squandered and to keep our commitment vital, we must grow. And in the digital world the fastest method to grow is to expand!

In expanding our capabilities and expanding our focus by expanding our reach, we're now able to extend our commitment to support the WordPress business community further, larger, and reach an increased number of developers and entrepreneurs.

Like MemberMouse it is planned to improve, expand and enhance the already amazing WishList Member(tm) product.

With the approaching CourseCure merging and the upcoming CourseCure merger, we'll be sure WishList remains a top choice for all online businesses searching for an efficient inexpensive, cost-effective and reliable membership, monetization, and LMS solution.

It's actually pretty easy. Just like all Caseproof or WPBeginner software it's the aim to become the best and to remain the best. So you can rest assured this is the goal for WishList Member(tm).

We thank you for being part of us on this incredible adventure!
