📌 In this episode, Charly explains:
✅ The difference between a Directory Plugin and a Membership Plugin — and why they serve different (but complementary) purposes.
✅ How to integrate a directory into your membership site so only members can view or edit profiles.
✅ Key considerations — like privacy, profile data security, user permissions, and how searchable you want the directory to be.
✅ Why planning the member experience is critical before choosing any tools or setting up systems.
