About MemberPress ClubCircles™
Your own community instead of rented social media groups
Many membership sites end up relying on a Facebook group or a Discord server to get their members interacting with each other. The problem is that community lives on someone else's platform, subject to their algorithms, their rules, and their own competition for user attention. MemberPress ClubCircles™ solves this by bringing member discussions and interaction directly onto your WordPress site, inside private forums exclusive to your membership.
What ClubCircles™ does for your membership site
The plugin adds forum spaces where members can post updates, share progress and collaborate with each other without ever leaving your domain. By integrating with MemberPress access rules, each circle can be restricted to a specific membership level, so only active, paying subscribers can join the conversation. This turns community into a tangible membership benefit rather than a generic add-on, reinforcing the reason a member keeps paying month after month.
Built-in moderation tools
Moderator queue: a dedicated panel for reviewing flagged or suspicious content before it causes friction in the forum.
Content flagging: members themselves can flag inappropriate or off-topic posts, helping keep discussions clean without relying solely on the moderation team.
Mute and ban users: tools for managing members who break community rules, with no need for additional plugins.
Your data, under your control: all activity is managed on your own WordPress installation, not on a third-party social network.
Who it's built for
ClubCircles™ fits MemberPress projects where retention depends on more than just content access: cohort-based courses that need interaction, coaching programs, paid communities, topic-focused membership clubs, or any site where a sense of belonging is part of what's being sold. It's especially useful when the site owner wants to stop sending traffic and attention to outside platforms and keep the entire member experience in one place.
How it fits into the MemberPress ecosystem
ClubCircles™ is part of the community add-ons available for MemberPress Growth and Scale licenses. It builds on the core plugin's existing access rules, so there's no need to set up a separate permissions system: circles inherit the level and membership logic you've already defined on your site. It's also part of the broader set of community and directory features MemberPress offers for those running memberships with an active social component.

Frequently asked questions
Does ClubCircles™ work without MemberPress installed?
No. It's an add-on that integrates directly with MemberPress and relies on its access rules to restrict each circle to the corresponding membership levels.
Can I have multiple forums with different access depending on the membership plan?
Yes. Each circle can be set up as an independent space linked to a specific access rule, so different membership levels see different forums.
Does it replace a Facebook or Discord group?
Its whole purpose is to offer an alternative to those outside platforms, keeping community discussions on your own site and under your control.
Does it include tools for managing problematic behavior?
Yes, it includes member content flagging, a review queue for moderators, and tools to mute or ban users who break the forum's rules.
