 * We’d like to create a group for (bbpress) forum users who have access to forums
   for a year. I tried to create a group but BBpress uses another way of dealing
   with capabilities. What WP_capablities would we need to assign for bb_participants?

 * Hi,
 * The issue is rather with how the restrictions are handled, please see my reply
   [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-integration-14?replies=2#post-7927064).

 * Hi,
 * Related to protected forums, topics and replies … we now have this free integration
   [Groups bbPress](http://www.itthinx.com/plugins/groups-bbpress/) – Groups bbPress
   integrates Groups and bbPress so that all topics and replies related to protected
   forums are also protected automatically.
 * To grant access for a year, and assuming that you want members to pay for that,
   you can use these premium plugins [Groups PayPal](http://www.itthinx.com/shop/groups-paypal/)
   or [Groups WooCommerce](https://www.woothemes.com/products/groups-woocommerce/).

 * **Groups bbPress** can now be installed directly from the WordPress Dashboard–

 * Kento – you rock!
 * I’ve been using groups and groups for woocommerce for a few years on one site.
   We just added a forum and realised today that the groups restrictions weren’t
   working as expected and registered non members were getting access.
 * I looked around and bang – you’ve already solved the problem.
 * Thanks very much
 * Joel

 * FWIW: we resolved to creating a WP role for the specific purpose of giving members
   access to the forums for a year (one edition). Once the next edition comes up,
   we simply revoke access for the user role, then setup a new/duplicate role for
   the new edition. Thanks anyway!
