Member data stays in the site's WordPress database, and Core updates are delivered only through WordPress.org.<\/p>\n\n<h4>What Core includes<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Member records with contact details, status, reference numbers and expiry dates.<\/li>\n<li>Configurable rolling or annual membership validity.<\/li>\n<li>Renewal overview for active, expiring and expired members.<\/li>\n<li>Member search and a mobile-friendly staff workspace.<\/li>\n<li>CSV import and export with spreadsheet-formula protection.<\/li>\n<li>Secure member portal with opaque, expiring email access links.<\/li>\n<li>Member profile and privacy-consent management.<\/li>\n<li>WordPress personal-data exporter and eraser integration.<\/li>\n<li>Backup, restore, reconciliation, diagnostics and audit tools owned by Core.<\/li>\n<li>Stable hooks and APIs for separately installed extensions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Built for organizations that want to keep control<\/h4>\n\n<p>Aurora runs inside WordPress rather than moving your membership database to a separate closed platform. Core can be used on its own and does not require WooCommerce, a digital-card provider or a commercial Aurora license.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Optional extensions<\/h4>\n\n<p>Core remains fully usable without paid extensions. Separate add-on plugins are available when an organization needs additional workflows:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Membership Manager Pro<\/strong> \u2014 communications, campaigns, events, member benefits and advanced operational tools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Membership Manager Commerce<\/strong> \u2014 WooCommerce membership products, order-to-member workflows and renewals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Membership Manager Digital Cards<\/strong> \u2014 Passcreator-based digital membership cards and wallet delivery workflows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurora-noor.com\/pricing\/\">Explore optional extensions and pricing<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>The add-ons are separate plugins with their own code, configuration, licensing, external-service disclosures and update channels. They are not included in or unlocked by this WordPress.org package.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Documentation and support<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aurora-noor.com\/documentation\/\">Aurora documentation<\/a><\/li>\n<li>For Core support, use the support forum available from this plugin's WordPress.org page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Privacy<\/h3>\n\n<p>Aurora Membership Manager can store member names, email addresses, membership status, expiry dates, profile details, consent choices and administrator audit events in the local WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n<p>The public member portal can send an access email through the site's configured WordPress mail system. Access links use opaque, expiring tokens. The plugin integrates with WordPress personal-data export and erasure tools.<\/p>\n\n<p>Site administrators are responsible for choosing an appropriate legal basis, retention period and privacy notice for their organization. Installing this plugin does not by itself make a site compliant with any privacy law.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>Aurora Membership Manager does not require or automatically contact an external service.<\/p>\n\n<p>Separately installed extensions may use their own external services. Those extensions must disclose their behavior, transmitted data, terms and privacy policy in their own documentation.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate Aurora Membership Manager from WordPress.org.<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Membership Manager &gt; Initial configuration<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the organization name and choose the membership validity rule.<\/li>\n<li>Add members manually or import a CSV file.<\/li>\n<li>Optionally create a member portal page from <strong>Membership Manager &gt; Settings &gt; Member portal<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>No license key is required for the Core plugin.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"is%20aurora%20membership%20manager%20really%20free%3F\"><h3>Is Aurora Membership Manager really free?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
