Ok, now I see what you mean, thank you for detailed explanation. wpForo Usergroup system with Forum Access system extends forum permission and allows to control users actions very well. Each usergroup is attached to according WordPress role. For example Registered usergroup has Subscriber role, etc...
These are independent relationship. When you change WP role it doesn't change wpForo Usergroup and vice versa. So here comes the problem of Paid membership plugins. You're not the firs wpForo user who report this issue. We've already started working on this and are planning to make wpForo Usergroups dynamic connection with WP roles next month. I'm sorry but at the moment the only way is changing usergroups manually till we add this function in core.
Its all good mate. No hurry. I don't mind doing it manually at the moment 🙂

First, it's an excellent plugin!
Did you have some news when you can add the role sync?
I publish my website with paid membership in 2 weeks, you think there is a chance to have it?
I'm sorry but not yet, the upcoming 1.4.3 version doesn't have this feature yet. This will be probably induced in 1.4.4 or in 1.4.5 version.
I see I'm currently using version 1.4.5 of wpForo, has this feature to sync with WP user roles now been added?
Thats the user data synching and creating forum profile. This is not the role syncing. Roles are already synced. All Administrators become Admin (Usergroup) in WordPress, subscribers become Registered (Usergroup) .
The User Role syncing was mentioned with different mean in last posts. We were talking about one role system for WP and wpForo. this is a different task and will be done in future. This is only for WordPress paid membership plugins. But for the regular Wp / wpForo usage all is ok and all roles/usergroups are already synced well.
