I deactivate it and delete it and it still didn't work. I had to edit it from the database (MySQL) directly to set it to normal.

When this plugin is activated the RSS feeds for private forums come up empty (blank, no code at all) I'm wondering if there is a way to have feeds work for private forums, or is that impossible?

"I found a bug.
When I turn the show/hide vs messages to hide forums/topics
and set some topics to private, all the topics get privatized....
or some strange selection of them do.
Now when I turn set it to print "private!!!" the privates forums/topics seem to work as expected."I have that same problem, except the fact that Dave's solution is leaving my forum completely blank. What to do?

The plug-in is great, but somehow it turns off randomly. With the forum going live in about a week, I really need some help with this.

Private Forums does experience that "turn off" issue. I am uncertain if it's being maintained anymore. Try my Hidden Forums instead. It doesn't have a fancy admin menu (yet) but you really only need to set it up once and forget about it.

Doesn't seem to work when a forum with subforums is involved... the forum stays hidden despite its settings.

I really like this plug-in, but... the reset issue is a serious problem.
If you want to make all of your forums viewable only to registered users, add this to the bottom of header.php:
<? if (bb_get_current_user_info() == NULL) { exit; } ?>This just tells bbpress to bail if the user is not registered and logged in.

For some reason when I set any forum to private, no forums would show up.
The fix was to modify private-forums.php on line 294
change: $new_forums[] = $forum;
to: $new_forums[$forum->forum_id] = $forum;
I didn't really look into why it was doing because I didn't want to learn the plugin, but in case anybody else is having that problems, that's the fix.

Great plugin - despite all of the 'reported problems' - I didn't have any BBPress 0.9.04 with Wordpress 2.7.1 integration. It does exactly what I wanted - WITH the addition by AndyPotanin above:
The fix was to modify private-forums.php on line 294
----------------------------------------------------
change: $new_forums[] = $forum;
to: $new_forums[$forum->forum_id] = $forum;This is exactly what I need, as I do not want hidden forums, I don't want my forums hidden, I only want them reported as 'private' and I do not want others to view them unless they register/login. There is even a great update to add your own User Types here:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-a-new-user-type?replies=6#post-9210
and here:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/custom-user-groupsUsing this combined with Hidden Forums (there are still a few forums I want to hide completely) provides the perfect solution!
Thanks!

One more thing, on adding private roles, you can find great info at:

Could someone tell me how you change the text of the automatically generated e-mail notifying the new user of their username and password? Or if its possible?

Help, RSS Feed issue hit again! i type at the browser [my_site_url]/rss.php then results all including private messages
Posted: 5 days ago # -
I upgrade to private forums 5.2 trunk, still the same issue in RSS
Posted: 5 days ago # -
Ok i get it the RSS only gets the first topic and does not expose all the discussions, I am expecting that private topics cannot be query by RSS Feed if is is private....
