MemberPress BuddyPress Integration

MEPR BP

BuddyPress is a WordPress community plugin that includes various online community features, like user profiles, groups, activity streams, notifications, and more.

But it isn’t a membership or content protection system out of the box. So it’s a good idea to use Memberpress to cover those needs.

Also, if you have a membership website based on Memberpress and want to implement community functionality, the best choice will be to use Buddypress.

In both cases, you need to integrate Memberpress and Buddypress. Let’s check how to do it.

Why Integrate MemberPress & BuddyPress?

Buddypress is a great community plugin.

It provides an open-source social networking software package but not membership functionality. That’s why you need to use the Memberpress plugin.

And if you want to link your community part with the membership one or you want to protect it from the non-logged-in users, you need to use the Memberpress-Buddypress integration plugin.

It’s an official Memberpress plugin and the easiest way to integrate those two systems.
