At this time i’m testing Wordpress with discourse. This works good.
Only with SSO i want to have only customers accessing the forum who only have a paid membership with Paid Memberships Pro.
Is this possible ?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around restricting access to a Discourse forum to only paid members using Wordpress with Paid Memberships Pro (PMP) as the Single Sign-On (SSO) and membership plugin. PatrickH is testing this integration and wants to know if it’s possible to only allow customers with paid memberships to access the forum.
robmc confirms that this is possible by making the Discourse site private and only accessible to members who sign-in through the Wordpress site using SSO. However, PatrickH has multiple levels of membership and wants to restrict access to only certain levels (Hero and Elite).
robmc suggests exploring the Discourse League Paid Memberships plugin, while dax recommends reading a guide on managing Discourse group membership with WP Discourse. PatrickH is also looking for a way to automatically add users to different groups in Discourse based on their membership levels in Wordpress.
Yes, this is possible.
You can make your Discourse site private (see login required under admin settings) and only accessible to members, so if you are using SSO from your Wordpress site, they can register / sign-in there, then access your Discourse forum. Otherwise it will be closed.
ok thanks.
i have done that , but i have different levels of membership, lets say:
Free (1 month) (no access)
Supporter ( no access)
Hereo (access)
Elite (access)
I think, I‘ve seen some membership plugin here at meta before. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name of it.
There are ways to achieve this without plugins, but if that is what is wanted, then maybe check out: ProCourse Memberships 💸
i have Wordpress as my SSO and Paid Memberships Pro as my payment and membership plugin in wordpress. I’m syncing users. Can i automatically add users to the different groups ?
Have you already read this guide?
