Description

This addon integrates your wpForo forum with MemberPress plugin. This is a powerful combo to create a membership forum and control your member’s access to categories and forums for each usergroup separately.

As it’s said in the plugin page: “With MemberPress you can monetize your WordPress site, build a perfect membership site, control who sees your content, sell online courses and digital downloads, and accept credit cards and digital wallets securely… all with easy setup”. And all the features of this plugin are integrated with wpForo forum plugin.

Restricting Categories and Forums

Restricting a forum will prevent non-members from seeing any of the forum’s topics. You should individually restrict each forum that you want to hide from non-members; you cannot do this by restricting a parent forum (category), as restrictions won’t be inherited. However, the restriction will affect the all topics of the forum.

The forum access restriction is based on users’ Membership Plans. You can grant different forum access to each membership plan in Dashboard > wpForo > Forums admin page by editing any forum you want, as it shown on the screenshot below:

For example, you can let members with Gold Membership plan only read the topics and posts of certain forum by setting [Read Only] access to that plan. As well as you can grant [Standard Access] to Platinum Membership plan allowing users with this membership to read topics, create new topics and reply to that topics.

You can create custom forum accesses with any set of permissions in Dashboard > wpForo > Forum Accesses admin page, then use that forum accesses to grant to different Membership Plans.

 

Forum Accesses by Membership Plan vs wpForo Usergroups

By default, forum accesses are granted to Usergroups. Each Usergroup has its forum access settings in the Forum Permissions admin section located on the right sidebar of the forum editing screen. If you want to manage forum access based on membership plans, we recommend setting [No Access] for all Usergroups except Admins and Moderators. Membership access takes precedence over Usergroup restrictions. Therefore, regardless of Usergroup restrictions, all users with access to a forum through a membership plan will be able to access the forum and its topics. So, you can confidently set [No Access] for all non-admin and non-moderator Usergroups and not worry about whether users in those usergroups with a membership plan will be able to access the forum. The membership will grant them access as you’ve configured it, even if the usergroup has [No Access] to that forum.
