Hi,
Using the shortcode should only show the forums you are allowed to see.
As administrator/moderator you could see the private ones in the list.
As participant you should not be able to see it.
Did you test the access from a user in the ‘participant’ role ?
Thanks, Pascal.
That’s where i am getting confused. Let’s say i have the following public forums
A
B
C
and a group called private group 1 which has a private forum D.
When a non logged in user visits the site he correctly sees only A,B,C but if testuser1 logs in who does not have access to private group 1 goes to forums he sees A,B,C and D. When he clicks on Forum D it says its private.
Is that how bbpress Forums work?
Thanks,
Parag
@casiepa
Those are hidden forums.

In bbPress a private forums posts should only show if the user is logged in. If you have a BuddyPress group and it is private the posts should only be visible if the user is logged in and a member. The users are able to see the title of the private group that may want to join.
IF you want, change to a hidden group where only members can be invited to the group to see the content. You should be able to keep it as a private forum as well.
Make sure to run the repair tools one at a time after you have made your choice on what you want exactly. The repair tools are in Tools > Forums. I know there is one exactly for BuddyPress Groups and one for private and hidden forums, but just running the repair tools once in a while is not a bad thing to do.
