Overview
Managing group assignments by hand can take time, especially as a community grows or user details change. This plugin lets admins create lists that automatically add users to selected BuddyPress groups. Global lists apply to all users, while conditional lists use criteria such as profile fields, member types, user roles, and WordPress fields like email.
Admins can choose when the plugin checks each user, including registration, account activation, profile updates, and member type changes. Each list can include multiple groups, and existing users can be synchronized with the rules. The plugin also works with BuddyBoss, making it a fit for community sites that use BuddyPress or the BuddyBoss Platform.
Features
- Global group lists: Create lists that apply to all users and automatically add them to selected groups, helping new members join shared community spaces.
- Conditional assignments: Set rules using profile fields, member types, user roles, or WordPress fields such as email to assign users to relevant groups.
- Flexible evaluation triggers: Choose to evaluate group rules during registration, account activation, profile updates, or member type changes.
- Existing user sync: Synchronize existing users with your lists to assign group access according to the rules you have set.
- Multiple groups per list: Associate multiple BuddyPress groups with a single list so users who meet its criteria can be added to each selected group.
- BuddyBoss compatibility: Use the plugin with the BuddyBoss Platform as well as BuddyPress-based community sites.
Best for
- BuddyPress community administrators
- BuddyBoss community site owners
