MemBuildGuides
The problems owners write to us about. In their words, then ours.
Every guide starts with how membership owners describe the problem, says what it costs, and shows what the fix looks like from your side. The technical version is folded in for your developer.

Money leaks
Fixes
The problems owners write to us about most. Each page: how owners describe it, what it looks like from your side, what we check, and what the fix looks like. None of them is a rebuild.
Members paid but can’t log in
They paid. They can’t get in.
A member pays, then writes “I can’t get in”. The most common leak in a membership, and not a rebuild.

Failed payments that keep access
A card fails. What happens next decides your revenue.
Members who keep everything without paying, or loyal members locked out on the first bounce. One policy, written down.

Members go quiet after week one
Your members went quiet. It happened in the first 14 days.
Still paying, not logging in. The fix is not more content or a community manager: a path, a pulse, and a list.

BuddyBoss + LearnDash access
The wrong people are in the wrong rooms.
Members in courses they never bought, paid members locked out, reports that don’t match sales. A handful of settings and one tag.

Stay or go
Moving platforms
Whether to leave, what moves and what is rebuilt, and the order we do it in. Staying put is a valid answer and every page says so.
Kajabi to WordPress
Leaving Kajabi? Decide it, don’t drift into it.
What you actually own on Kajabi, what moves, what gets rebuilt, and the version where you stay.

Skool to WordPress
Leaving Skool for a community you own.
Only names and emails come with you. What you lose (Discovery), what you gain, and how we move it with the free plugin.
Read the guide →
Circle to WordPress
Leaving Circle? Know what comes with you first.
The most polished room you can rent; the export gives you members, not courses or messages. The fees, the add-ons, and the version where you stay.
Read the guide →
Thinkific to WordPress
Leaving Thinkific? Move the courses, not just the sales page.
Users and progress export; the courses are rebuilt in LearnDash. The fees, the caps, and when the deepest course LMS is the right place to stay.

Side by side
Compare
The free MemBuild Community plugin against the platforms owners ask about.
A free Skool alternative for WordPress
The parts of Skool your members like, on a site you own. Free.
Same one-screen shape, nine levels and a leaderboard, plus stories, reels and chats. And the one thing WordPress cannot replace.

vs BuddyBoss
BuddyBoss does more. MemBuild Community does less, for free.
The established choice against the free plugin, honestly: forums and the app are theirs; the bill and the weight are the reasons to switch.

vs FluentCommunity
Both are free. Only one ships the leaderboard and chats in the free version.
Fluent’s free core holds back the leaderboard, chat and more for Pro. Where Fluent is better (spaces, polls, CRM) and where we are.
