Reply To: Forum Participant role cannot view private forum
I’m having a similar problem. And I must tell Andre that, yes, it seems a bug and is not intended to be that way. As you can read at https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/#participant they are supposed to read private forums. My private users (with participant role) can see the private forums and navigate through them and their sub-forums, but all topics (on private forums and also on private sub-forums inside private forums) there is a message that no topic has been found. If I just give them upper permissions (Moderator), then they can see all the topics on these forums and alos reply, etc.
So I think it’s truely a bug. Strange to me that it’s been around for some months without being fixed 🙁
BTW, I’m using bbPress as a plugin within a WP installation.
