So I finally got the bbp-private-groups plug-in to work. I ended up having to make all the forums “public” and now (based of the bbp-private-group permissions) everything is working and those that don’t have access are being redirected to a different page.
I’m hoping this is just a band-aid and that I can get the core bbpress permissions to work again, so any assistance is still appreciated.
Thank you
I also tried quick this morning and removed all the bbp capabilities from the wp-roles I use, and the members users could not see anything. So I’m not sure if it is not looking at the bbpress roles even or if for some reason the capabilities assigned to those roles are not enough (when they should be).
Something seems messed up, but not sure what to do. Thinking of downloading a copy of the database and snooping around it if I get time at work today.
Any other thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again!
You are both correct and I have run the repair tool (multiple times now) with no change.
I did verify the users are assigned to a forum role:
Here is a snapshot of the capabilities assigned to the Participant role:
And I’ve even went a step further and assigned the bbp capabilities directly to the wp role (members) I created with no luck.
I’ve also tried the bbp-private-groups plugin as you can see, but the problem I ran into was that the members could also see those forums and the topics within them even though the member was only assigned to “member” forums, not the “officers” forum.
