    I have a number of members areas on my website. One of the things that we are going to use bbpress for, is to essentially allow members to “blog” things of interest. They will be viewable within their profile.

    What I also want, is to be able to have the bbpress blog available somewhere, for people to browse without having to be members, but without the ability for non-members to post.

    To do this, I am assuming that firstly, i put the forum within the members area. The complicated bit, is how do I put a read-only copy of the bbpress forum outside the members area so that non-members can read, but cant post to the forum

    no need to put the forum within the members area

    Just make the forum public, say on a page using the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode, or if just one forum then the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] where $forum_id is the id number of the forum.

    and anyone member or not will be able to read it.

    Then make sure that in

    dashboard>settings>forums>Anonymous the tick box is NOT ticked – then only members (those with wordpress accounts) will be able to post.
