What’s new in Pie Register BBPress 1.6
Version 1.6 · Feb 16, 2024

What it does
Running a forum alongside a custom registration form usually means extra admin work. Someone signs up, and then you have to set their forum role and make sure they can reach the right boards. This addon removes that manual step by tying the registration process directly to bbPress, so forum access is handled at the moment a person completes your Pie Register form.
You set the bbPress role that new registrants should receive, decide whether forum access stays restricted or opens to all registered users, and pick redirect pages for login and logout. It fits sites that already use Pie Register for signups and bbPress for discussion, from small niche boards to larger communities where assigning roles by hand would take up a lot of time.
Best for
- WordPress sites running bbPress discussion forums
- Site owners already using Pie Register for signups
- Community admins tired of assigning forum roles by hand
Features
Role assignment at registration
Automatically give new members a specific bbPress user role when they register, so each person starts with the access level you intended.
Automatic forum access
Users get access to your bbPress forums right after completing a Pie Register form, with no manual approval step needed for forum entry.
Login redirects
Send users to a page you choose after they log in, such as a forum index or a welcome page for the community.
Logout redirects
Choose where users end up after logging out, keeping navigation predictable instead of dropping them on a default page.
Pie Register form sync
Connects your existing Pie Register registration forms with bbPress, so signing up and joining the forum happen as part of one process.
Flexible access settings
Adjust configuration to fit your community, whether you want forum access limited or open to every registered user on the site.
Questions about Pie Register BBPress
Do I need both Pie Register and bbPress for this to work?
Yes. The addon is built to connect Pie Register forms with bbPress forums, so it works within a WordPress site that runs both. Its job is to link the registration process from Pie Register to forum roles and access in bbPress.
Can I choose which forum role new users receive?
Yes. You can set a specific bbPress user role that is assigned automatically when someone registers through your Pie Register form, which saves you from changing roles manually for each new member.
Can I keep my forums restricted instead of open to everyone?
The configuration options let you adapt access to your community's needs. You can restrict forum access or open it to all registered users, depending on how you want your forums to run.
Where do users go after they log in or log out?
You decide. The addon includes customizable login and logout redirects, so you can send people to specific pages, such as your main forum page after login or another page of your choice after logout.
