We had one other user mention that… had not heard of it before…  Believe he was using it…

As long as it support the standard wp roles for its membership, all should be well… see:  https://simple-press.com/documentation/codex/faq/how-to/how-to-configure-simple-press-with-membership-plugin/

that is for full integration of wp users, membership roles and simple press permissions… 

but if all you want is to protect the wp page the forum appears on, that should be fully supported, I would think…

Thanks I would want it to actually recognize the groups Woocommerce Membership creates which is obviously not wp standard roles. So for this I have submitted a contact us about having the plugin made for it…

how does it create this groups?  why do you say obviously not wp roles??  it can create a new role for each usergroupo…   if it equates a wp role for each group, then all should be fine… 

If it uses a custom mechanism for these groups, we cannot really know about them since they live outside the standard wp api…

other plugins like wishlist, s2 member, restrict content pro, etc do this using wp roles…  and they work fine with simple press…

would be curious of course, to learn what you find out…
