MemberPress Courses is two products fused together. Course content lives in standard posts/postmeta. Membership, transaction, subscription, and rule data live in MemberPress tables and user meta. The default admin treats those two halves as separate plugins: transactions on one screen, subscriptions on another, lesson-level progress on a third. Retention reporting requires exporting both sides and joining in a spreadsheet.

SleekView Charts reads both sides and turns them into one dashboard. A Number card counts members renewing this week. A Pie card breaks membership status down across the catalogue. A Bar card averages course-completion percentage by membership level. An Area card plots new transactions over time, with a parallel line for completion rate so engagement and revenue trend on the same chart.

That join is what retention actually needs. Marketing finds members who finished a course but didn't renew. Support opens one card to see whether engagement is up or down across a cohort. Owners watch retention as a real number — engagement against subscription state — instead of two reports they reconcile in their head.

Retention is where most membership sites win or lose. Whether a member renews depends on whether they got value, and value usually shows up as course progress. The default MemberPress admin treats those two halves of the same question as separate plugins.

Transactions live in one place, course completion lives in another, and the only way to see them together is to export both and join them in a spreadsheet. That manual reconciliation is the reason most teams check renewal risk once a month instead of once a week. SleekView Charts turns the join into a saved dashboard.

A marketing manager opens the renewal-due-this-week filter and sees, on the same screen, whether the cohort has completed the flagship course. Outreach becomes specific; support becomes proactive; owners see retention as one number against one trend instead of a quarterly export.
