Creating a membership site is easy with so many plugins out there but will your membership work with the leading WordPress page builders?
See, there are many plugins that will allow you to create a working membership site but not all of them are compatible with the leading WordPress page builders like Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, etc.
Don’t know what page builders are? Let me tell you.
What Are Page Builders?
Page builders are plugins that enhance the capabilities of WordPress websites by a significant amount.
With the release of WordPress 5.0 and Gutenberg editor, WordPress is also trying to bring those awesome features of page builders to WordPress natively.
But the thing is, WordPress or Gutenberg is nowhere close to any of the page builders that are popularly used.
Most of the page builders are now drag and drop along with so many possibilities to create pages exactly like you want easily without any roadblocks.
Page builders are helpful in creating beautiful and conversion-focused pages within minutes with just a few clicks or you can build a completely custom one if you want.
Basically, page builders are the tools that bring tons of possibilities without coding or anything like that.
Which Page Builders Are Supported By MemberPress?
Most of the page builders also support the native WordPress editor or shortcodes as a block, so it should work with any page builders that you know of.
However, some page builders might not work with it at all or may not work as expected.
The good news is that there are a few popular page builders that are officially supported by MemberPress.
The page builders that are completely compatible with MemberPress are Elementor (recommended), Divi, WPBakery, and Beaver Builder.
Thrive Architect and Brizy should also work with it easily however I’ve not verified it personally.
