wpForo SureMembers Integration 1.1.0

wpForo SureMembers Integration is a WordPress addon that connects SureMembers access rules with wpForo forum visibility. It helps you solve a common membership problem: controlling who can view and participate in specific forum categories, forums, and sub-forums. Instead of manually managing permissions, the plugin syncs SureMembers content access groups (plans) with forum access. That makes it practical to run a members-only forum where paid or approved members get the right discussions. Setup is handled through per-forum access settings, keeping your access control organized directly inside wpForo.

To use it, install and configure the SureMembers plugin first, then map the SureMembers groups to corresponding wpForo forum access options. The result is a smoother integration between membership content access and community engagement.
