Either Ultimate Member or BuddyPress; you can not use both together.
Can you explain this to me? I am building a membership site that needs to accept money subscriptions; but I also want the functionality of BuddyPress galleries for our members, and the facebook-like interface that lets people chat with one another.
Do I need to scrap BuddyPress and do UltimateMember only?
I have tried using a different plugin with Buddy Press before, Paid Member Subscriptions (by Cozmoslabs), and it did not integrate well. In fact, the problems that were caused by trying to integrate PMS and BuddyPress and MailPoet are the reason why I need to start my site over, redesigned, and I’m looking for a simple solution. The paid membership plugins do not allow me to collect snail mail addresses automatically upon registration (and we send things out by regular mail, so that’s important), and they also don’t really integrate into the whole newsletter thing (we have a newsletter that goes out monthly to paid members only)… And all of that doesn’t really integrate into the Member Galleries of BuddyPress. BuddyPress doesn’t make it easy to export data, either. So…
I think I may need to go with Ultimate Member, which integrates with my mail system and now has photo galleries available for individual members (so, something similar to BuddyPress’s galleries), much as I love the idea of BuddyPress.
I guess I am gun-shy, even though maybe integration with Paid Membership Pro could be better; the whole experience of trying to make BP and other plugins work together has been very trying. And we have limited money to spend on solutions.
@jerrythemouse https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailpoet-paid-memberships-pro-add-on works fine with Mailpoet 3.
There is no specific limitation from Paid Membership Pro I have seen upto so far where it limits you to fetch registered user email and sync it to any 3rd party integration.
