Description
The BuddyPress addon connects Restrict Content Pro subscription levels to BuddyPress social network groups and profiles, controlling who can access forums, private groups, and feed activities based on member status. Designed for those managing paid communities within WordPress, it automatically syncs active subscribers with exclusive areas and revokes access when the subscription expires or is canceled.

How to Download BuddyPress

By linking groups, profiles, and activities to Restrict Content Pro levels, the BuddyPress addon transforms the site’s internal social network into an integral part of the paid product.

How to install
Automatic updates: this item is updated by the Ultrapack Auto Updater. With it installed, the new version shows up in your dashboard like any other WordPress update (how to set it up).
This item is an add-on for the Kadence Memberships Pro (ex Restrict Content Pro) plugin. Installed on its own it throws no error, but it does not work either.
- Install and activate the Kadence Memberships Pro (ex Restrict Content Pro) plugin before this one.
- Download the file
restrict-content-pro-buddypress.zip. - In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Select the file
restrict-content-pro-buddypress.zip, click Install Now and then Activate.
- Both stay active at the same time. Deactivating the Kadence Memberships Pro (ex Restrict Content Pro) plugin turns this add-on off with it.
- An add-on settings usually show up inside the main plugin screens, not in a menu of their own. If you find nothing new in the dashboard after activating, look there before opening a ticket.
