Only show Forums/Topics user has access to

We are implementing bbPress to add private forums to LearnDash courses. We are using the LearnDash bbPress Integration plugin.

When a logged in user views the /forums page or the /topics page they see all forums and topics. (We are using Visibility: Private for forums) even though the user does not have access to the forums or topics due to the LearnDash Integration plugin. I asked LearnDash if they know a way to hide the ones that the user does not have access to. They said that they did not know, and that I should contact bbPress support.

Is there a way that I can programmatically add a per user filter for the following shortcodes: [bbp-forum-index], [bbp-topic-index]? I would like to inject logic that would exclude records based on the currently logged in user.

Any ideas would be appreciated! I may need to write my one shortcode but did not want to reinvent the wheel if I do not need to!

Thank you!
Joseph

I’m also looking for a solution to this. Currently I’m using the bbp private forums plugin, but it’s been a pain with scalability since it doesn’t work with learndash groups.

Sorry Learndash is a paid plugin, so I cannot develop my free private grouops plugin unless I buy it, which I don’t plan to !!

Yea, that makes sense. Do you know if there’s any workaround that could be done? I have the Uncanny Automator plugin too, so I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to run some code that triggers whenever a user is added to a learndash group and preforms an action that checks if there’s a private group made with that name and adds them to it.
