Description
wpForo Groups Plugin Integration is a WordPress plugin addon that connects the Groups plugin access rules with the wpForo forum system. It helps you control who can view and participate in specific forum areas based on the user groups they belong to.
Instead of limiting discussions manually, this integration enables group-based access for wpForo categories, forums, and sub-forums. The result is a practical way to run members-only and restricted threads, supporting clear community segmentation for premium content and participation.
Main Features

- Per-group forum access levels — Lets you grant different access types to different user groups for each forum area.
- Control for categories and sub-forums — Applies restrictions to wpForo categories, forums, and sub-forums, not just a single thread.
