But none are as complete and as quick to configure as PMPRO. My only suspicion is whether the code will still be as effective when updating complementary plugins like BBPress and Budy Press. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8912545608980ba01c328c183cb8a8c7d91d7c03312d089ef2ed1328e1af4b8f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Zero support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zero-support-42/)󠁿 [parisheather77](https://profiles.wordpress.org/parisheather77/) December 27, 2023 1 reply If you use this plugin, expect a sh*tload of bugs and zero help from the support. It seems to be working with all of the workarounds I figured out on my own, but not like it’s supposed to work according to their documentation. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ffec45b9db303f32b31d83aeed58c834cd10e5fcb50643371e27842574fe7c06? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-285/)󠁿 [wxia0822](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wxia0822hotmailcom/) September 30, 2016 Sept 30, 2016 – it works like a charm.

It does not work. I hope a fix is developed soon. Not being able to use bbpress with pmpro is a problem. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/55973f6c384cdd3c2b3bb9e642b2e5c57793c97b3da111c744440bc4966ffdd5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Error 500 upon activation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-500-upon-activation/)󠁿 [zoutwater](https://profiles.wordpress.org/zoutwater/) September 3, 2016 1 reply Plugin fails to install (500 error). I emailed PMP about this, and was told I needed bbPress installed and activated to use this plugin. Yeah, I know – and I do, which is why I need this plugin. But sadly, that was all the support given. I now have to switch membership plugins, as I need bbPress protection. Considering all the issues reported with this add-on, it’s disappointing to see they’re not addressed and the main plugin still claims bbPress support. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fa064f39a483ffe4171189eb1ca9c56ecc11dfdd56b38f101150cd4252525337? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Broke my site!

All pages show up blank white. I’ve recently moved my site from one webhost to the other. Not sure if that’s what did it. All other plugins work fine. After the move I simply updated it and my site broke. I was updating this plugin from 1.2 to 1.3. *CAUTION!!* Update: I’ve also noticed that after deleting this plugin, my site runs MUCH FASTER. USE THIS PLUGIN WITH CAUTION!!!!!! : ( 🙁 :(:(:( [ Read all 12 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pmpro-bbpress/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “bbPress Restrict Membership Forum & Private Replies for Members Only with Paid Memberships Pro” is open source software.
