WooCommerce Memberships: bbPress integration
This would add the ability to restrict forums, topics, and replies from bbPress to members with WooCommerce memberships. This could also have advanced features, such as the ability to make profiles public / restricted.
bbPress users, what's important to restrict? How would you like to protect forums to members?

I am working on a school website. Their SMF forum is where they do most of their communication. I am porting that to bbpress to take advantage of one signon for all features in the site. The private content was easy to protect. I have yet to get Memberships to protect the bbpress forum, despite following the bbpress instructions. It'd be great if I could just say "protect the forum using this membership" the same way I say "protect this post category using this membership." Not sure that Woo Memberships will be the plugin for us if I can't get this to work.

All of my BBpress client websites have some type of membership fee attached to them. Full integration between the two plugins would be wonderful. User type integration, having memberships assign user type in bbress. Having integration between subscriptions and BBpress would be wonderful as well, having a bbpress user profile shown/hidden with an active/inactive subscription would be ideal.

I would like to automatically set bbpress roles for new subscribers when they join based on the membership level they choose. Specifically I want to set some membership levels that can view but not post to topics and replies (bbpress role "spectator") while others have both access and the ability to post (bbpress default role when they register of "participant"). This can be done manually now but to automate this process in the "edit membership plan > restrict content" page would be great.

We would like better integration with bbPress, including inheriting permissions from parent forums, and an able to see topic titles but lock the topics for members only.

It also be great to have it work witth active membership subscriptions to content and for it to automaticly change roles and access to the content once the subscription ends, cancels or failed payment... thank you.

The admin should be able to decide that certain level members join automatically to bb groups, which is suitable for them. It is not always that the members want to discuss with other members who bought same memberships. Often it can be the opposite. For example buyers want to discuss with sellers and not with other buyers

I agree with Fidel Torres' idea:
"Give private forums for each member ship group. Allow nonmembers to access only public forums."
I would also add "or all private forums" in addition to just private forum access for their specific membership. For instance, VIP memberships get access to all private forums, etc. -

I would like to:
(1) Associate one ore more forum to one membership and grant access to the forum to active members of the memberships only
(2) Use also the "Hide only content" protect mode -

I would also love to see a better integration into bbpress or BuddyPress. This is a must-have for us.
