Is there a forum software that works with your plugins

[one80group]

I currently use estore plug-in and affiliate software. My wife now would like to add your membership plug-in and a forum. Do you recommend one that works best with your products. Our site is http://www.tinaferguson.com

Thank you so much.

If you use a WordPress forum plugin then eMember should work with it. I personally prefer BBPress. If you are using the BBPress plugin then then eMember will work with that too.

Update: More detailed discussion on BBPress plugin and eMember here:

To any one that’s interested:

I’ve been able to integrate eMember with SimplePressForums

Thanks to Amins upgrade of allowing new members to be added to any wordpress role.

I use a capability manger to create a role for free, silver, premium, etc

and then in SimplePress forum, I set the role of the forum/group

and in eMember, I set the users role based on what membership they are joining.

That’s brief, but I think you get the gist.

Hi Matt, Thanks for the update.. can I twist your arm a bit to write up a slightly more detailed instruction for “How to make eMember work with SimplePress Forum”?

What if I told you that I would give you another eMember update as a reward that has a few little nice features? LOL

HI, Looking like a interesting thread going on. Its good that people are actually willing to share their views on this topic.

I have eMember integrating with bbPress “sorta”. What I mean by that is that when a member joins as free or above, their default WP membership level is set to subscriber. Then install BBPress. Then install BBPress Integration for WP. Now in BBPress under WP Integration, set WP Subscriber = BBPress Member. Voila. Joining members are auto-magically part of the forum.

That said… while WP and BBPress both take “Role Manager”, there is no integration occuring there yet, so I can not pass off a personally created user-roll across this kind of share. I’m in need of doing that, so I’m still looking for a workaround, but for basic membership it works well.

I think the Admins are working on this now… I had the same request about 5 days ago, but using it with SimplePress.

Hi Kimberly, You might have to go with SimplePress for that. eMember can handle custom roles.

I would also like to use SimplePress. The only problem i have is i had no set emember to create a WP user account at the same time. So a couple of questions

1. Can i create the WP Users now in any simple way with the emembers already created.

2. Can i restrict anyone from registering as a wpress user unless they are registered with emember?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Yes, go into the admin functions menu of eMember and use the “Create WordPress User Account” option to do this.

2. Yes, from your WordPress settings you can restrict the registration of new users using the default WordPress registration form. Use eMember to control the user creation.
