What it does
Running a membership site and a social community side by side often means managing two separate sets of rules. This add on ties them together. Paid Memberships Pro handles who belongs to which membership level, and BuddyPress or BuddyBoss provides the profiles, activity streams, groups and forums. With the integration in place, membership status becomes the gatekeeper for those community areas, so you can keep certain groups, forums or activities open only to members at specific levels.
The plugin fits sites such as educational portals, niche social networks and other communities built around paid membership. You can set up private or public groups aligned with your membership tiers, show membership data on member profiles and sync user roles and capabilities based on membership status. It also works with the social networking features of the BuddyBoss platform, and it connects to the reporting in Paid Memberships Pro so you can follow member engagement.
Best for
- Membership sites running BuddyPress or BuddyBoss communities
