Description

The bbPress add-on connects the subscription levels of Restrict Content Pro to bbPress forums, allowing restriction of access to forums, topics, and replies based on each member’s active plan. Designed for those who maintain paid communities, exclusive discussion areas for students, or private technical support groups, it turns public forums into level-segmented spaces without requiring manual permission edits for each created topic.

How to Download bbPress

The bbPress add-on is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the .zip, and activate it. With Restrict Content Pro already active, restriction options appear in the edit screen of each forum.

For those already using Restrict Content Pro as the backbone of a membership area, this integration extends access control to the discussion layer, avoiding fragile permission-plugin combinations. The result is a plan-segmented community, with rules applied in the same place where subscription levels are defined.
