WP Membership Plug for WP Site and FluentCommunity

Thomas Oates Nice. Many of my clients use MP so that is good to know. They register using MP and then you set the rules to access the community?

Kevin Watson Well, my situation is a bit different. I've got WordPress using an external CRM system for authentication. When a member logs in, the custom authentication plugin validates their credentials with the external CRM system, programmatically creates a WordPress account if they have never logged in before, and then takes them to FluentCommunity. The code also pulls their roles from the external system and adds/removes them to/from WordPress roles as needed. Then I have another custom plugin that automatically adds members to FluentCommunity spaces based on WordPress roles. I did have to manually create all the roles (about 20) using the Members plugin. It sounds convoluted (and I guess it is) but it works great so far. It only takes about one second from clicking the login button to getting the FluentCommunity home page even if a new user is logging in. I also use the roles created in the Members plugin to assign access to regular WordPress pages that I've incorporated into FluentCommunity using a custom theme. Not sure if all that info helps but maybe it gives some additional insight on what can be done.
