wpForo - MemberPress Integration

Many membership sites want a discussion area that only members can enter. Handling that by hand means managing separate user lists and permission settings. This addon ties wpForo to MemberPress, so forum categories, forums and sub-forums follow the membership plans you already run. Members see the spaces that belong to their plan, and everyone else stays out.

Setup happens through your wpForo admin dashboard and MemberPress content restriction rules. You can give one plan read-only access and another full posting rights. Membership plan rules take precedence over the default wpForo usergroup permissions, so access stays consistent. It suits sites that treat the forum as part of a paid membership.

Features

• MemberPress plan connection: Connect wpForo forums directly to MemberPress membership plans, so only authorized members can reach the forums you designate for them.
• Read-only or full access: Assign different access levels to each plan, such as read-only viewing or full participation, across multiple forums and categories.
• Members-only forums: Create discussion areas open only to paid members, giving your membership plans a private community space of their own.
• Custom forum permissions: Define and assign permission sets for forums from the wpForo admin dashboard, deciding what members can view and do in each forum.
• Membership rules take precedence: Membership plan restrictions override default wpForo usergroup permissions, which keeps access control consistent with the plans you sell.
• Default access dropdown: A dropdown menu sets the default forum access for all membership plans, which saves time when you configure many plans.
• Works with current wpForo: Built to run with recent wpForo releases, so your forum stays on a stable and current base alongside MemberPress.
• Responsive forum experience: wpForo's responsive design combines with the access controls, so members can use the forums on different devices.

Best for

• Membership sites with a private community forum
• Site owners selling forum access through MemberPress plans
• Communities that need different permissions for each plan
