Just a heads up – you probably want to use the “Hidden Forums” plugin instead of “Private Forums”:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/

As one user put it, “The plug-in is great, but somehow it turns off randomly”. That exact same thing happened to me twice, before I got fed up. Each time it happened, I almost had a heart attack!

“Hidden Forums” is a better version of the plugin, and has no reports of that bug.
