This 10 minute tutorial shows how to integrate WishList member membership plugin for WordPress with Simple Press, which is a sophisticated (and free!) forum plugin for WordPress. We also cover the user-access (permission control) system in Simple Press, which is very powerful.

Excellent video. Spent 2 days messing around with roles, users, plugins, groups, permissions. Got working first time with this. Thanks
Hello Marc,
I was watching your tutorial on how to integrate Simple Press with WishList to create a member's only forum. I would say it was quite an insight to learn to create this forum using Simple Press and WishList and I would say I do learnt a lot, and we didn't had any tutorial and insight on how to create a member's only forum and the documentation was lagging on this subject.
However as I was going through the documentation on how the WP role is mapped with the WishList membership level and the same is mapped with the user group in Simple Press. Now when a membership level is sequentially upgraded from one level to another does the WP Role also get changed appropriately, how it is handled when the sequentially upgraded from one level to another using a add method and what about Move method?
A suggestion of this subject will be appreciated, since I didn't find the detail on the same I took the liberty of asking you the same and if you could help me, and a mention of the same in the tutorial will make the same clear to the other viewers.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Dipak
Dipak,
No, wishlist does not upgrade the WP Role when it upgrades a user.
Marc,
Thanks for your insight, so how do you think an integration of simple press with WishList be handled in the following situation:
1) Private forum is created for each membership level,, where members can discuss their view topics with fellow member on same level. The membership level is sequentially upgraded using move method. When membership level is upgraded using move method. The members shall not access the forum of previous level.
2) Same method when membership level is upgraded using add method, where members can able to access the forums to which he is a member.
Any suggestion on this situations, or any addon codes which help achieve those scenarios.

You have to write custom code and hook it into Wishlist. Wishlist provides hooks
Thanks Marc, do you have any information of anyone implementing the above scenario, or any addon plugin which can help accomplish this.

Dipak you need to continue this conversation with Wishlist support and your developer
