Membership-plugin ecosystem advances core comms and its Memberlite theme.

◆Current state
Paid Memberships Pro is an open-source WordPress membership platform shipping in two coordinated tracks: the core PMPro plugin and its Memberlite theme. Recent core work centers on a rebuilt email editor with Liquid syntax, profile pictures, and email logging, while Memberlite moved to a modern block-based foundation.
◆Where it's heading
Both tracks are modernizing their foundations: PMPro is upgrading communication and admin tooling toward a v4.0 horizon, and Memberlite has been refactored from the ground up onto blocks. The cadence is regular and release-driven, with monthly add-on roundups filling the gaps.
◆Prediction
Expect the Liquid-powered email system and block-based Memberlite to keep expanding, and continued groundwork releases pointing toward the referenced v4.0.
