En 2021, adquirí una licencia de por vida de "WishList Member" con actualizaciones incluidas. Recientemente, intenté usarla y me fue revocada sin motivo. A pesar de tener el comprobante de pago y registros de todas las conversaciones, ignoraron completamente mis reclamos sobre esta pésima experiencia.

Pros

No me respetaron mi licencia de por vida.

Cons

No respetan la licenci de por vida que compre en su momento.

Pros

I was in the room when Wishlist was launched and have used it for years. They took care of all the issues people had with Memebership platforms on Wordpress and fixed them. Honestly, I've migrated my membership platform off of Wordpress or I'd still be using it. Technically, I still have some memberships on the old sites using it, and it still works like a charm.I just have my newer stuff on a totally different platform completely.

Cons

I honestly don't have any complaints. When I was actively using it I was always able to get support when needed, but needing it was rare. They built a solid plugin.

Pros

WishList Member es robusta y repleta de funciones que facilitan la creación y gestión de membresías en WordPress. Me gusta porque se integra con herramientas claves en el mercado como Divi, Elementor, WooCommerce, y plataformas de pago como PayPal, Stripe y ThriveCart. Pero, lo que más me gusta de WishList Member es la facilidad de uso. La plataforma te guía paso a paso para proteger los contenidos y hacer correctamente las integraciones con otras herramientas, incluyendo plataformas de emails. Además, su soporte técnico es efectivo, siempre he recibido apoyo cuando la he pedido.

Cons

Un asunto que WishList Member podría mejorar es la inclusión de contenido en otros idiomas, por ejemplo, el español. La comunidad hispanohablante usa muchas herramientas en WordPress para gestionar sus membresías, grupos privados, eventos, entre otros. Sin duda, brindar soporte más documentación y la herramienta en español sería un gran cambio de juego.

WishList is one of the "old school" programs that I learned about when I first got into digital marketing in 2003. I met the original \[sensitive content hidden\] at one of my first seminars. I like that it is mature software and is run by a company that has been around a long time and likely plans to stay around. It integrates with everything I need and doesn't break my site when it has an update. Even if it doesn't directly integrate with something, I can use Pabbly Connect to expand my options. If you use Wordpress and have more than 10 sites, this is the one you want.

Pros

I was able to transition from using another (also very good) Wordpress membership plugin called Digital Access Pass when I had an opportunity to purchase a 50 site license with WishList Member. I use Wordpress for pretty much everything and this is an easy way for me to add a simple (or more involved) membership portal to any site I want. I can drip content, restrict certain parts of my site, and set up payments. I prefer to use Wordpress and a membership plugin like this to more "all in one" solutions because I like the flexibility to design things exactly the way I want.

Cons

While it is not super complicated, there is a learning curve to it and it's not always clear what to do first if you're not already somewhat familiar with membership software or Wordpress. I kept needing to backtrack because I couldn't progress to the next step without already having some things decided such as membership levels, types of access, etc. I found myself getting frustrated that the tutorial videos were more about the bare basic mechanics of the software and not more helpful to guide me on what elements I should already have in place.

Overall, it is doing exactly what I need it to do, even though the sites I manage have different requirements.

Pros

It is very adaptable to a couple of situations. I manage 3 different membership sites with differing needs.

Cons

It's not always easy to figure out where to find a particular feature. Also, there are some things that could be explained more clearly.

I found WishList Member when I was looking for a plugin to secure my courses on WordPress. As an online entrepreneur, I searched high and low for the best and found nothing better than this plugin. It's easy to use, offers great features and you can rest assured that your courses are secure with WishList Member.

Pros

WishList Member is a great plugin for WordPress that allows you to manage your students on a course or memberships to exclusive content on your site.

Cons

At first, you could get lost with so many features, but you quickly discover them as you go along, then you love playing with them.

My experience with WishList Member has been very good, I used it most of the time with Buddyboss, Learndash, Woocommerce, and Mailpoet. It takes some time to understand all the settings but once that is clear everything is smooth.

Pros

Integrations, they got so many Support is very quick and always solves the issues It is very easy to protect content, even using page builders

Cons

Not a very intuitive platform The documentation still limited even after so many years on the market
