I changed this review after finding additional functionality.
ORIGINAL
I bought the pro version, primarily to manage user access to different areas of a Support Knowledgebase. But 99% of my site is BetterDocs and I can’t find a way to include ProfileGrid’s access control on these pages? It looks like it only works with default posts and pages, and it’s own blog? I had hoped to use this with LifterLMS, but if it doesn’t work with custom content types, it isn’t very useful.
REVISED
There is a shortcode to show and hide content. Although this is more work than an automatic solution, it’s more flexible. I set “log in to see more content” for Guests, and set the remaining content to display for the group.
The benefit of this method is that I can put tempting teasers with SEO to show to Google.
I like the shortcodes, as they are easy to manage and work with everything. I discovered that it caused a display problem with images and galleries, so they might not work with all content types.
If you are using BetterDocs specifically, it has an internal knowledgebase what has access control for entire sections.

I have been incredibly impressed with the ProfileGrid plugin! The functionality is fantastic, and it has made building my website so much easier. I’m especially thrilled with the Geolocation feature, which has added a valuable layer of usability to my platform, helping users easily connect with therapy dog teams across Germany.
The support team has been nothing short of exceptional. They were quick to respond and went above and beyond to assist me with my project. It’s rare to find such a dedicated and responsive support system, and it makes all the difference.
Overall, I highly recommend ProfileGrid for anyone looking for a powerful and reliable solution for creating user profiles and communities. This plugin truly delivers!

Dear ProfileGrid Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently using ProfileGrid for user management on my site, and I have a specific requirement regarding group managers and their visibility over group members.
Here’s the scenario I am trying to achieve:
I would like to know if there’s a way to set this up in ProfileGrid or if there are specific settings or configurations I should be aware of. If this feature is not currently available, I would appreciate any guidance on how I might achieve similar functionality.
Thank you for your assistance!
Best regards,

I’ve only scratched the surface of this amazing profile/community user management and membership tool. It is fast, it is modular (not bloated, install what you need) it is well documented. I’m using it to build an online community for my real world community. A safe place to buy & sell on our classified ads, for charities, clubs and groups and local business listings and reviews, to promote to visitors and tourists – I wanted to bring together all aspects of community, events, jobs… and I want the local people to share local knowledge – This plugin provides an interactivity on a different level. The short code system combined with Kadence, GeoDirectory, FluentCRM & WP-Fusion – OMG! ProfileGrid is a powerhouse. I am literally buzzing with excitement and possibilities! Oh, the support are on the ball too – I’ve had replies within minutes! 10 outta 10!

Lots of features but still nothing!
Useless for me who was looking for a social activity wall.
Could possibly be used for something if you buy it! For me, this plugin appears as a solid demo after installing and testing it!
Gets two stars for looking nice.

EDIT:
I have just uprated this review to 5 stars, from 3. The support received from the support team has been exemplary. I’m happy to report that the team went to some trouble to rectify this issue and I can’t praise them enough. Please read the whole thread for details.
I’m annoyed. I’ve spent a week creating groups and populating them, creating 3 different registration forms and testing them. All was working well, apart from the documentation being somewhat poor (-1 star*) until I came to set up the Profile Pages. There’s a choice of templates (although they all lack imagination and are very samey) but – and this is a big but – you can only choose one Profile Page template regardless of how many groups you set up. This makes the plugin totally pointless (-2 stars**). What is the point of having separate user groups (with different requirements) and directing everyone to the same page structure? My site caters for both suppliers and customers – they do not want the same profile page.
Different user groups exists because different users need different features. I’m truly sorry because I thought this plug in would resolve my user group issues but sadly, it fails.
*Don’t let your programmers write the user instructions. Employ a trainer to do it. With over 30 years experience of writing technical training courses, specifically for various software packages I can recognise the difference between in-house documentation and a properly structured training course. Trainers include examples and make no assumptions as to the knowledge of the reader/learner. Non-trained documentation writers make assumptions and provide poor examples.
** Actually, if the plugin is pointless, it should receive no stars, but ProfileGrid does have some good features. In fact, I have been impressed by many aspects; the ease at which registration pages can be created (although the default ‘dark’ theme is almost impossible to see and needs additional CSS to force it to use your theme’s colours – and even then not all aspects become visible), the profile templates are OK as long as you only need the one, and I have found the Support Team to be reasonably quick to answer questions, so I give you a star for each of those.
As of now, I’m looking to delete ProfileGrid. I need something exactly like it, but with the obvious requirement of different profile pages for different users, the ability of the plugin to work with my theme, and the ability to fully edit the in-built templates.

I was looking for something to save me a bit of time and mesh well with the end goals of my site and I’ve been more than pleased with the plug-in. I liked it so much I opted for the whole package! With what your able to pull of with the rest of the plug-ins in your arsenal it more than holds it’s value. The cherry on top has been the support team. They have been so incredible with assisting getting integration conflicts resolved and always a pleasure to deal with, a really great group of people!
I can hardly wait to see what else they are able to incorporate and what this could evolve into!

I spent over 2 months researching and trying out various membership plugins, then I FOUND ProfileGrid.? Support was so patient, responded promptly and in detail to my numerous pre-sales questions.??
I am ecstatic for the fee I paid because it would cost me hundreds of dollars to customize another membership plugin to have?ProfileGrid features.? Definitely recommending ProfileGrid to everyone I know.? Please keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

ProfileGrid is one of the most comprehensive membership and community builders available for WordPress and leaves almost nothing to be desired for webmasters. The support is competent, friendly and always ready to help with problems of any kind and has so far always been able to help solve the problem quickly. Big-Match Internet Services

It’s buggy. Constantly breaks down. Conflicts with other plugins. Constantly. The manufacturer is trying to fix it, but it takes a long time. Meanwhile, the site is idle.
Cannot be used for serious projects.
The worst purchase I’ve ever made. And you can’t refuse, the sites are working. I have to buy another plugin again. Completely redesign the site. Re-register users. Thousands of users. It’s very difficult. This is ruining my business.

This is a very complete plugin, that on top of this, seamlessly (and for free) integrates with other prominent community plugins out there.
So many plugins will make you pay for integrations with other plugins, but this one does it for free, and makes accessible basic features instead of gatekeeping them and forcing you to cough up a small fortune for it.
It’s a lot better, more modern and better organised and more intuitive than BuddyPress is, and I can’t understand why it isn’t more widely used. You can actually edit pages and forms, import/export users, the plugin provides short codes, etc. The profiles look modern, again a lot of features that are normally gate kept behind paywalls are there right out of the box, etc. It’s multi-functional, and so far useful.

This is a great plugin that basically meets my expected needs, especially in terms of functionality design; likewise in terms of after-sales support that leaves me with no worries, and happy engineers who always solve the problems thoroughly. So just choose and use it with confidence.

One of my clients called to ask me to find or build a home-owner’s group site. I reviewed several from Capterra. All were excellent, however, this HOA didn’t want to spend much money. So, I knew I had to solve it with a WordPress plugin. After reviewing a few I chose ProfileGrid. It was the best decision, I’m sure. Love the product. Love the support. Their team is always polite, even when I make dumb mistakes. That’s why I called this review
“Operator Error (me)”. Thank you ProfileGrid!

I purchased Profilegrid a few months ago and started using this really cool plugin. It has so many features it seems almost overwhelming but whenever I had a question and fired it off to support, they always got back to me within 24 hours. The code is solid and when I did come across a bug, they fixed it right away. I have now fully integrated this plugin it into my site and am now looking to extend the group menu functions.

I have been looking for the best community software for literally years. As far as ease of use and value is concerned, ProfileGrid is IT!
Community software is inherently complex—a lot of functions and it can be very confusing for users. But ProfileGrid makes it as easy as possible. Also, I happen to use Divi theme, and so far it seems to work GREAT with it! Even though they don’t promote their software as working with Divi.
Also, support is super helpful. I had one annoying problem and they responded and fixed it immediately.
I strongly recommend you try the free version…and then, once you get the hang of it…buy the lifetime license. And then build your community!

The plugin helps me a lot to enhance my community website. Because my community needs a content restrictions feature only for the members and wants to restrict registration forms, the plugin provides features that accommodate it. It also has a lot of extensions that improve the plugin.
There is something that I love about the developers is they give us a chance to have the premium version for free if we contribute to translating the plugin for 90% of the translation into our locale language. And I haven’t seen a developer from any plugin I know offer something like this before. Luckily, the plugin doesn’t have any translation for my language.
So, when I achieved almost 100% of the translation project, they gave me the premium version of the plugin with its extensions. The premium version helps improve the plugin and gives better functions and features to my website. Thank you very much for this great plugin. Good job!
The developers also gave me the best support for every ticket I made. But, the answers take a lot of time. I understand it’s tough to help a lot of users in time. The thing is, they will help us and give the best support.

Logins do not work consistently. Friendships and messaging only worked once. The plugin does not use the usual UI conventions.
I could not even create a support ticket
