wpForo's user role synchronization feature synchronizes with the WordPress primary user roles. It does not support synchronization with secondary user roles.

For customizations, I recommend purchasing pro support and contacting the support team: https://wpforo.com/pro-support/#customization

Thanks again for your help. A new user registered today, but the sync failed:

Any other ideas?

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the WP Wishlist Member plugin's registration system. If it uses the native WordPress functions, everything should work fine. However, you'll need to test it yourself. Create a new test user and see how it functions.

@sofy Thank you. So now going forward, if I register a new user fia WP Wishlist Member, will the relevant boxes get checked for their associated category in this screengrab, and they will gain access to the forums without me having to manually fix each one?

@lbdesign

In this case, the registered users will have all permissions granted to them by 'Standard access'.

Thank you. So will these settings solve the problem?

@lbdesign

If you want registered users to view the forum, then yes, they should have 'Standard Access.'

Thank you.

These are my current settings.

Are you saying that although I created categories for each membership level (see 3rd screenshot), that the "Registered" category should also be set to "Standard Access"?

@lbdesign

Please find the "Forums Permission" section in the form Add/ Edit screen and make the current Usergroup has the correct Forum Access.

Then edit the "Forum Accesses" for the usergroup and make sure the checkboxes are checked.

Hi Folks. I had to wait to be able to reproduce the problem for you.

I tried with automations by Uncanny Automator, and by Bit Integrations Pro to sync the user to forum categories. Both of them say they are integrated with Wishlist Member and WPForo and both offer these specific integrations. But in my reality, neither one can activate the WPForo categories for a user. I tried with different users and both automations (one at a time).

I added this user: https://share.zight.com/X6ujnKnl

You can see here that the forum categories were not activated in the User profile screen:
