How it Works

This plugin adds a ‘Require Membership’ meta box on the ‘Edit Forum’ page to let you specify the level(s) that can access the forum.

The plugin adds settings to the Membership Level as well as to the Forums general settings pages to help you control deeper features and display options for bbPress.

Restrict a Forum by Level

Edit a Forum in your WordPress Dashboard. On this page, you will see a “Require Membership” Metabox in the right column of the editing screen. Select any membership levels in this box that you wish to restrict access for. Members, Users, and Visitors without these levels will not be allowed to view forum content, including topics and replies.

General Forums Settings

Navigate to Settings > Forums in the WordPress admin. Here you can specify additional Paid Memberships Pro behavior for your Forums including:

• Error Message: This message is shown when users attempt to view a forum or thread they don’t have access to.
• Member Links: Add links to member forums in the “Member Links” section of the “Membership Account” page.
• Hide Member Forums: Hide member forums content from forums list and search results.
• Hide Forum Roles: Hide forum roles in replies.
• Show Membership Levels: Show membership levels in replies and on the bbPress profile page.
