Memberlite is a theme we designed exclusively for membership sites and it is tightly integrated for use with Paid Memberships Pro. If you don’t already have Memberlite, you can now install it directly via your WordPress Dashboard. To install, go to Appearance > Themes > Add New and search for “Memberlite”.

This has been a long journey.
Two years ago, we made the decision to work to release Memberlite in the WordPress.org Theme Directory. It hasn’t been an easy or quick path. The Theme Directory has incredibly high standards and a sizable queue of themes to be reviewed.
After a 6-month wait, one unsuccessful review, an in-depth paid review by themereview.co, another 3-month wait, and this latest review from the WordPress Theme Review team, Memberlite is now available through your WordPress dashboard.

Along the review process, we made several passes over the entire code base of Memberlite and learned a lot along the way. Over the past two years, I watched as the standards got higher, the tools got better, and the process got faster. The themes available for free from WordPress.org are some of the best, most well-vetted themes available for WordPress. Memberlite is better for having gone through this process. All of our code is better for having gone through this process.
Regarding Updates
We just released the latest version of Memberlite (v4.2) to both our own upgrade server and the WordPress.org Theme Directory. You should see a notice to update to version 4.2 in your dashboard under Dashboard > Updates.
All users should be able to safely update to the latest version of the theme. If you have an older version of Memberlite, please check that you have installed and activated the Memberlite Shortcodes and Memberlite Elements plugins. These plugins replace some functionality that had to be moved out of the theme itself as part of the review process. Backing up before updating is always a good idea.
This version 4.2 update may come from our servers or via the WordPress.org update server. In both cases, your Memberlite theme will be using the same code. After this upgrade, all future theme updates will be delivered directly through the WordPress.org servers.
