UserPro Add-ons

UserPro comes with everything you need to set up a community-based website. However, there are plenty of add-ons available if you need to go beyond the typical User Community setup – for payments, social activities, members layout, tags etc. These add-ons are made and supported by the same team behind UserPro, and they are premium priced (this means that you have to pay for them individually; they’re actually very affordable).

  • Private Messaging: Not all communications should be private, which is why UserPro comes with its own built-in own private messaging system. This add-on allows your members to interact and chat with each other. Additional features include quick reply, emoticons, and the ability to block/unblock other users from sending private messages. This add-on is priced at $15.

  • UserPro Social Wall: Your members can share posts, images from their social media account using this add-on. They can also like/dislike posts and images, comment on posts of other members.  It is a refreshing way for your members to interact within the community. This feature is priced at $13.

  • WooCommerce Integration: UserPro offers a premium priced add-on that connects your registered members to your online store. For example, their login credentials can be exchanged between the two (WooCommerce and UserPro), and user profiles can be used to review purchases and order details. This add-on comes priced at $15.

You can go through the full list of UserPro add-ons to know what all awesome features you can integrate with this plugin.

The one thing that you might find missing in UserPro is a rewards system, but that is easily managed by using an exclusive add-on that MyCred has developed, especially for UserPro.

You can catch a live preview to see it in action.

  1. UserPro is a wonderful plugin and i would love to see more features in it. Thanks for a wonderful share.

  2. How do you get UserPro to work with bbpress? I’m currently building a site for my wife and I want UserPro to manage user registration and profiles but need to ensure that it works with bbpress. Has anyone used the two together? Or provide some insight or suggestions.

    1. Not yet. I want to use it the same way but I PREFER the buddypress Profile view with buddypress cover. Would love it if it ACTUALLY integrates with Buddypress

  3. I really love this plugin. I research different users plugins, this is the one I liked the most.

  4. @triggeru571, I just searched the product page for the term “multilingual”.It didn’t return anything, can you please let me know where is the plugin being advertised to be multilingual? Thanks.

  5. Well yes this is a nice plugin but frankly, it kind of mis-represents itself when it comes to multilingual function. I bought this plugin recently because of the advertised “Translation Ready!” statement in their Codecanyon product page under “The Essentials”. The author admits this is an essential feature but fails to explain that the only translation ready he means is that you can change your form from English to any other language and that’s about it. So if you try to have your form as truly multilingual it’s not possible. You can have either One English form, or say translate that to Italian then you will have only One Italian form and no English. So basically if for instance you use a language switcher and go to an English page you are still shown your Italian form.

    In it’s own support forums there are hundreds of posts by users feeling cheated by the misleading advertising and many remain unanswered. This is really frustrating and has been a complete waste of my time and money. Is there any other good looking addon which actually does what it promises?

  6. I totally heart UserPro and am glad to see it’s getting some much deserved attention. Thanks for writing this up!
