    I’m looking into adding BuddyPress to my site, and I see that it is compatible with PMPro. I need to be double sure of how this will work though with my current settings.

    I have pmpro set up with membership levels for one type of user, a contributor. I want buddypress to allow a different type of user, a subscriber, to sign up for free. I don’t want to mess with the current sales page and sign up process, page redirect or anything that a paid user would do. I only want to add a separate login and features for free subscribers. I need to know that no one would be able to sign up for free and access any of the contributor pages and backend of the site. I also don’t want any of the free subscribers to have to go through the pmpro login section. All of the backend pages are customized for paid members, when a free user logs in, they need to stay in the front end of the site. Is all this possible?

    Hi ivbscorp,

    All of this should be possible, however you may need some other plugins outside of PMPro and BuddyPress. I recommend looking at Theme My Login (http://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/).

    What I imagine here, is allowing anyone to sign up for your site (Settings > General) as a subscriber. This will allow users to sign up through WordPress and not PMPro.

    You could hook into pmpro_after_checkout hook and change a user’s role after they’ve signed up for a membership. By default PMPro uses the role set in your Settings to create user accounts, and since this should be set as a subscriber for the free users, you’ll want to change paid users to contributors.

    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
