<p>Automatically join a member to a group based on a profile field. For example, say you have a profile field where the person selects his state from a drop down list. If he selects, New York, he’ll be automatically added to the group New York. Or, if you have a profile field for “Favorite Animal” and the member selects “Dog”, you could automatically have him become a member of the group “Dog’s Rule” and “Best Dog Food”.</p>

Paid Memberships Pro

<h3>The most popular WordPress plugin for private communities.</h3>
<p>Use BuddyPress or BuddyBoss with Paid Memberships Pro to create a members-only private community in your WordPress site. This plugin enables secure, private messaging, groups, member directories, and private profiles for members of your free or paid community.</p>
<p>This integration allows the site owner to control access to the most popular community features in BuddyPress and BuddyBoss.</p>
<h3>Restrict Community Features</h3>
<p>Use this BuddyPress and BuddyBoss plugin to restrict your membership site for multiple user types including visitors, non-members, and members. Offer private groups, private messaging, a member directory, and more in your private social network.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Groups:</strong> Restrict the ability for visitors and members to view, join, and create groups. You can also restrict access to the list of available groups in your community.</li>
<li><strong>Messaging:</strong> Restrict the ability for visitors and members to send public or private messages.</li>
<li><strong>Friends:</strong> Restrict the ability for visitors and members to send or accept friend requests.</li>

<h3>Compatible with BuddyPress and BuddyBoss</h3>
<p>Like BuddyPress, the BuddyBoss Platform turns your WordPress site into a robust community, with social networking features including groups, discussions, messaging, friends, and more. Community users can organize themselves into public, private, or hidden social areas with separate activity feeds and directories.</p>
<p>The platform is an evolution of BuddyPress and bbPress, consolidated into a single area of settings. For this reason, you can use the existing PMPro Add Ons for BuddyPress and bbPress to restrict features in BuddyBoss.</p>
