Is there a way to put my new forum into the membership area?

[Tall Midget]

I just added a forum! It is from “SimpleMachines.org” and it is extremely easy to work with.

My problem is that I do not know how to integrate it with eMember…

Any and all suggestions or instructions will be appreciated.

eMember integrates with WordPress users and roles. So any plugin that uses wordpress roles and users (simplepress does this) can be integrated given the right circumstances.

So this is what eMember will provide…

A member registers for an account -> eMember will create a corresponding wordPress user for this member -> eMember will set the role of this user to whatever you have specified in the membership level -> when this user logs into eMember he/she will also be logged into WordPress.

So now you have a user of WordPress who is logged into the system with a role that you wanted him to have.

In SimplePress you can specify which role can see what forum. So given that this this member’s role meets the requirement he/she will be able to see the protected content of SimplePress forum too.

In essense when creating a premium membership/forum site eMember is going to be the gatekeeper. It is going to handle the login mechanism (everyone should be using the eMember’s login). When someone logs in they will be able to see content based on the role of that user.
