Descrizione

The most popular WordPress plugin for private forums.

Use bbPress and Paid Memberships Pro to create a private forum in your WordPress site. This plugin enables secure, private discussion boards for members of your free or paid community.

Private Forums: Restrict Forum Access by Level

With private forums, all content in the forum is secured from public view. Select the membership levels that are allowed to access the restricted forum. Any member, user, or visitor without access is blocked from viewing forums, topics, and replies.

Members get quick access to the private forum on the “Member Links” section of the “Membership Account” page.
Site admins can optionally choose to hide the forum name from the forums list and search results.
To create a better forum experience for your members, choose from the settings to “Hide Forum Roles” and “Show Membership Levels” in replies and on the bbPress profile page. This helps participants see what level of membership access another member has.

Forum Roles: Set Forum Role by Membership Level

Give certain membership levels a higher tier of access within your forum. Assign the forum role by membership level in your Paid Memberships Pro settings. This forum role is changed or removed from the member when their membership level changes.

For example, allow certain membership levels to be spectators in the forum, while you allow other higher tier members access to moderate forum replies.

Activating the plugin brought my site down. It does not work. I hope a fix is developed soon. Not being able to use bbpress with pmpro is a problem.

Plugin fails to install (500 error). I emailed PMP about this, and was told I needed bbPress installed and activated to use this plugin. Yeah, I know - and I do, which is why I need this plugin. But sadly, that was all the support given. I now have to switch membership plugins, as I need bbPress protection. Considering all the issues reported with this add-on, it's disappointing to see they're not addressed and the main plugin still claims bbPress support.

After updating this plugin, it broke my site!! All pages show up blank white. I've recently moved my site from one webhost to the other. Not sure if that's what did it. All other plugins work fine. After the move I simply updated it and my site broke. I was updating this plugin from 1.2 to 1.3. *CAUTION!!* Update: I've also noticed that after deleting this plugin, my site runs MUCH FASTER. USE THIS PLUGIN WITH CAUTION!!!!!! : ( 🙁 :(:(:(
