Hello,
I am trying to make a forum that has both a subscription section and a free section on WordPress. The simple solution is to create a paid block and a free block and put short code in, but I do not want to have things show up twice.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Hi,
To create separate forums for paid and free members in wpForo, you can use wpForo's built-in features and potentially integrate with a membership plugin. You'll need to:
- Create separate forums:
In wpForo, create categories and forums for both paid and free members. - Assign Usergroup Permissions:
Assign specific Usergroups (e.g., "Paid Member" and "Free Member") to access different forums. - Configure Forum Accesses:
This allows you to control access to specific forums based on membership level - You can also check out the Membership Integration Plugins:
You can use plugins like Paid Memberships Pro or MemberPress to manage membership levels and assign appropriate Usergroups automatically.
Please read this FAQ: https://wpforo.com/community/faq/wordpress-user-roles-wpforo-usergroups-and-forum-accesses/#post-39664
