The BP Groups CiviCRM Sync plugin provides two-way synchronisation between CiviCRM Groups and BuddyPress Groups. For each BuddyPress Group, the plugin will automatically create two CiviCRM Groups:
<ul>
<li>A “Member Group” (of type “Mailing List”) containing a Contact record for each corresponding BuddyPress Group Member. This Group is assigned the same name as the linked BuddyPress Group.</li>
<li>An “ACL Group” (of type “Access Control”) containing the Contact records of the Administrators of the corresponding BuddyPress Group. This gives BuddyPress Group Administrators the ability to view and edit their Group Members in CiviCRM.</li>
</ul>
When a new Member is added to (or joins) a BuddyPress Group, they are automatically added to the corresponding CiviCRM Group. Likewise, when a Contact is added to the CiviCRM “Member Group”, they will be added as a Member to the corresponding BuddyPress Group. If a Contact is added to the CiviCRM “ACL Group”, they will be added to the BuddyPress Group as an Administrator.
This plugin works in a similar way to the <a href="https://civicrm.org/blog/lobo/civicrm-and-og-organic-groups" rel="nofollow ugc">Drupal Organic Groups CiviCRM module</a>. Existing Groups in CiviCRM that were generated by the Drupal Organic Groups CiviCRM module can be migrated to become BuddyPress-compatible CiviCRM Groups.
<h3>Requirements</h3>
This plugin requires a minimum of WordPress 4.9, BuddyPress 2.3 and CiviCRM 5.19. Having the latest version of each plugin active is, of course, highly recommended.
<h3>Plugin Development</h3>
This plugin is in active development. For feature requests and bug reports (or if you’re a plugin author and want to contribute) please visit the plugin’s <a href="https://github.com/christianwach/bp-groups-civicrm-sync" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a>.

BP Groups CiviCRM Sync

Enables two-way synchronisation between BuddyPress groups and CiviCRM groups.

CiviCRM Member Sync keeps a WordPress User in sync with a CiviCRM Membership by granting either a Role or Capabilities to a WordPress User who has that Membership.
This enables you to have, among other things, members-only content on your website that is only accessible to current members as defined by the Membership Types and status rules that you set up in this plugin’s settings. CiviCRM Member Sync is compatible with both the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/" rel="ugc">Members</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/groups/" rel="ugc">Groups</a> plugins for managing members-only content in WordPress. See the Installation section for details.
