Hello!

I am looking into using bbPress as a discussion forum. I do have WooCommerce already running on the website, through which people can make accounts. To be clear: I do not have any intention to use bbPress as “product support” for the shop, which I see a lot of people discussing here. The forum is not intended to be a place to just discuss products or be a support/ticket system.

My question is this: will users have to make two accounts – one for the Woocommerce shop, one for the forum – if I install bbPress? Or is there a way to integrate the two accounts into one universal login? I am sorry if a thread already answered this, but I couldn’t find it.

Thanks for your help!

You should be fine WooCommerce users a just WordPress users, the same goes for bbPress, all your users are WordPress users.

Hi e11eca,

You can access both your WooCommerce and bbPress through a single account. So any registered user would not have to create different accounts for the forum and the shop.

Here is a blog post on the integration on WooCommerce and bbPress to create a paid forum.

bbPress WooCommerce Integration: Tutorial on How to setup a Paid Forum on WordPress

This i’m sure will give you in depth information on what you want.

Hi!

I have a problem that is related to this one; I’m also running Woocommerce and bbpress forum. My problem is the exact opposite to this one; I do not allow users to make accounts for woocommerce,
but I want to allow them to make accounts for the forum.

So is there a possibility to allow registration only for the bbpress, so that it doesn’t affect any other part of the website?

Thanks!

Put either your forums or your marketplace on a different site. Maybe a sudomain.
