Description
The addon Groups Plugin Integration is an extension for wpForo that adds group selection fields in the forum edit panel, synchronizing read and post permissions with the groups registered in Groups Plugin. Administrators create exclusive areas in the forum for teams, clients, or premium members without manually repeating configurations between the two systems.
