BuddyPress Auto Join Groups

Adding members to groups one at a time gets old fast, and new users who land in no group often have little reason to take part. BuddyPress Auto Join Groups handles that step for you. You build auto-join lists, attach one or more BuddyPress groups to each list, and the plugin places users in those groups when they match.

Global lists apply to every user, which suits groups everyone should belong to. Conditional lists use rules based on user role, profile data, member type or core WordPress fields such as user email. You pick when users are checked, and you can sync existing members to a list so older communities benefit too. The plugin is also compatible with BuddyBoss.

Features

• Automatic group joining: Users are added to BuddyPress groups without manual work, so new members land in the groups you chose as soon as they meet the rules.
• Global and conditional lists: Create global lists that include every user, or conditional lists that apply rules based on profile fields and member types for more targeted group membership.
• Multiple conditions per list: Combine conditions such as user role, profile data, member type and core WordPress fields like user email to control exactly who is placed in a group.
• Choose when users are checked: Pick the moment of evaluation: on registration, account activation, profile updates or member type changes, so group assignment follows what members do.
• Sync existing users: Run a bulk synchronization to apply your lists to the current user base, so established communities do not have to assign members by hand.
• Several groups per list: Associate any number of BuddyPress groups with a single list, so a member who meets the conditions can join multiple relevant groups at once.
• BuddyBoss compatibility: The plugin works with the BuddyBoss platform, which extends its use to community sites built on BuddyPress-based setups.
• Simple admin screens: Settings screens are clearly laid out, making it straightforward to create and manage auto-join lists, and the Auto Join menu sits under Tools.
