Description
wpForo MemberPress is a WordPress plugin that connects MemberPress access rules with the wpForo forum platform. It helps you turn regular discussions into paid-members-only areas across your site.
Instead of applying a single lock to all threads, you can map different membership plans (Restriction Rules) to specific wpForo categories, forums, and sub-forums. This makes it easier to reward subscribers with the right access, improving engagement while supporting monetization goals.
Main Features
- MemberPress-to-forum integration — Uses your MemberPress Restriction Rules to control access inside wpForo.
- Plan-based forum permissions — Grants different users access levels based on their membership plans.
- Category access control — Applies restrictions to wpForo categories so only eligible members can view them.
- Forum and sub-forum restrictions — Controls access for individual forums and nested sub-forums.
- Members-only discussions — Enables exclusive threads in designated forums for paid members.
- Simple setup workflow — Configure access by editing wpForo forums and selecting the matching MemberPress Restriction Rule.
- Centralized rule management — Keeps access logic in MemberPress and applies it consistently across your forum areas.
Benefits
- Higher member engagement — Directs conversations to the right audience, encouraging participation.
