@cathysophia79 did you ever manage to find a fix for this? I am having the same issue.
Thanks for the suggestion @casiepa but I have a large and well established Buddypress based community and cannot rebuild the groups. Unless it works with Buddypress based groups? My bbPress forums are set up only inside these Buddypress groups and I imagined that the private groups would support fully private forums. The “bbp-topic-index” shortcode provided by bbPress makes the private groups forum topics visible to members of the community who are not part of these private groups.
Last post on this thread was over two years ago and it would seem that this is still an issue: private group forum posts are still showing up when using [bbp-topic-index]. Is there a way to hide them?
