 * This plugin does not seem to work with wpforo, user accounts created anywhere
   but wpforo are not given access. I have tried wpforo in buddypress and as a standalone
   site.
    Any suggestion.

 * WP-Members relies on WP’s db schema for users. Users are created using WP’s wp_insert_user()
   function.
 * I don’t know what wpforo uses for storing users and/or how users are created,
   but I would be surprised if it wasn’t similar. However, it may be that for forum
   access that an additional user meta or user role is used. If that’s the case,
   then for it to work you would need to create that entry when the user is created.
   You can hook into WP’s user_register action or WP-Members wpmem_post_register_data
   to handle adding/updating/removing specific user meta or making changes to the
   user (such as adding/editing the user’s role).
 * For wpmem_post_register_data, see: [https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/filter-hooks/wpmem_post_register_data/](https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/filter-hooks/wpmem_post_register_data/)
