My private groups plugin lets you
create groups
assign forums to those groups
assign roles to the groups
thus giving you what you want.
Private groups
Robin, thank you. I had installed the plug-in, but I gave up on it. However, I’ll give it another try. I have set certain forums to private in the dashboard, so they are not visible to non-logged in visitors. For logged in visitors, I want specific forums to be invisible to members role, but visible to author role. Seems simple.
Do you have a quicky procedure for doing this? I spend too much time fiddling with various settings, to get the desired result otherwise. Thanks for your contributions to this great forum tool.
so in
dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>Group name settings – set up groups called ‘members’ and ‘author’
then in
dashboard>forums>edit forum – set each forum to be assigned to whichever group you want it to be visible to, and set the forum to be public (private groups will then hide it)
then in
dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>assign groups to roles – set authors to see the author group and members to see the member group
