Now I am getting confused. I could have sworn that I replied to your post John a few days ago… but I don’t see it.

Here it is again then, my apologies, I didn’t mean to transgress a forum convention. Still, if at all possible, I’d like some direction as to how I can block access via direct URL to user profiles. From user profiles someone can track back to posts attributed to the user and use and post via that ‘back door’.

I have bbpress installed and protected (I thought) behind the membership wpmudev.org membership plugin and want the forum area available for specific members only including the profile information. What files need to be customized to make this possible?

I can block posts and content in pages with short-codes from the membership plugin, but I don’t know where I would place those within the structure of bbpress. Is there a way, please? I am not a coder, but have friends who are I just need to be pointed to the files that are involved in getting this done. Thanks for ANY help with this matter.
