Hi,
I'm using Access Ally for my online courses and I want to use WPForo (which looks FAB) for the discussions.
I have set up three levels of user group, depending on what they are allowed to have access to.
So far, so good.
My process flow needs to be:
1. (DONE) They get a WP account when they pay via Access Ally
2. They log in the Wordpress site and can see a page to register, with the WP Foro registration form on it
3. They complete the form that will give them access to ONLY the user group that goes with the level of access they have purchased.
I have your member field add-on, to create custom fields, but I can't see how to do the rest.
Q: how do I do this?
I'm totally stuck.
Thanks! Clare
Hi Clare,
Please find my answers below:
2. They log in the Wordpress site and can see a page to register, with the WP Foro registration form on it
3. They complete the form that will give them access to ONLY the user group that goes with the level of access they have purchased.
This is a wrong logic. wpForo and WordPress users are the same. There is no way to register or login twice. If a user is registered on WordPress it's already registered in wpForo automatically. When user login it's already logged in for wpForo too. There is no way to login in WP then register in wpForo. If you want them to fill cutom fields they need to go their My Profile > Account page and fill user custom fields. I hope you've already added these custom fields for Account / Profile and Registration forms, not only in Registration form. So you have nothing to do, just let them login and they'll be able to access according forums. You just need to change users usergroup after registration in WP. Usergroup can be changed in Dashboard > Users > Edit Users screen (scroll down and find wpForo Usergroup) or if you'r admin you can navigate to user Profile > Account page on forum front end and change there.
In other words, they can't complete any form, because this form is registration form and the user is already registered in WP. This user is already logged in and he/she already has Usergroup with according accesses to forums. You just need to change Usergroup of new registered user to control accesses to certain forum.
Can I limit certain users to only access certain topics? I want to set up a free and premium access on my message board. Premium users would have access to all topics while free users would only have access to general topics. What payment method would you recommend for this, for the premium users?
