Restrict Content Pro - bbPress

Many membership sites want a community area, but a forum open to everyone gives paying members little reason to join. Restrict Content Pro – bbPress solves this by tying forum access to the membership levels you already manage in Restrict Content Pro. Members see the forums that belong to their plan, which keeps the forum list relevant and keeps private discussions private.

The plugin works by adding restriction controls to bbPress forums and topics. Admins assign access through a simple interface without writing code. You can set up exclusive discussion areas, private support forums or tiered community access, and show a custom message to visitors who lack access. It suits any site that already runs bbPress and Restrict Content Pro together.

Features

• Forum viewing restrictions: Control which forums and topics each membership level can see, so members only find discussions that match their plan.
• Posting and reply limits: Decide who can start new threads or reply inside forums, based on membership level, so conversations stay among the members you choose.
• Tiered community access: Set up several membership tiers with different forum privileges, giving each level its own set of discussion areas.
• Private support forums: Keep support or discussion forums available only to the members who are entitled to them, away from non-members.
• Customizable restriction messages: Show personalized messages to non-members or lower-tier members, letting them know which membership level gives access to a forum.
• No-code admin setup: A user-friendly interface lets admins assign restrictions quickly, without coding or complicated configuration.
• Works with bbPress and Restrict Content Pro: Combines the bbPress forum plugin with the Restrict Content Pro membership system so both are managed in a connected way.
• Protected forum content: Forum discussions and posts are available only to authorized members, which keeps member conversations from being read by outsiders.
