SWITCH FROM ULTIMATE MEMBER TO BUDDYPRESS

  • @twwebbie

    I have a site with a rather huge user database. We’ve used Ultimate Member but it is limited and for more function, we will need to fork out a lot of money – something the org just dont have. We’re considering BuddyPress – I’ve installed it on a test site and it seems to work lovely.

    On UM I have various roles and, some roles are limited. The fortunate thing is that I have created these roles with the User Role plugin, too – so it is already there.

    We will make use of WooCommerce for the shop and Paid Memberships to handle memberships – something that probably will come into affect this year.

    How can I import everything as it is on UM to BuddyPress. Is there an easy way? Can BuddyPress handle WooCommerce and Paid Memberships? How will it affect the link to posts done by users and the current registration and profile pages?

    @twwebbie You will have user data same and after activating BuddyPress, you will also have Profile for all. Ultimate Member saves profile details to user meta, you can export them as CSV data and with CSV you can import them into BuddyPress xprofile fields.
    For UM activities, they can not be imported directly into BuddyPress activities, you can check with your developer to create migration script for UM activities.

    For BuddyPress WooCommerce integration you can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/wc4bp/
    Paid membership pro also offer free add-on for it https://wordpress.org/plugins/pmpro-buddypress/

    I am not sure if I need to open a new thread for this question or if it is allowed here.

    Do you know of any plugin that can access WooCommerce via the frontend and from Buddypress profile menu? I installed “NS Frontend Add Product”, but it is not displaying right at all.
