Hi there! I am completely new to bbPress and forums. Assume I know nothing.

What I would like to do is set up individual, forums between myself and a client. Let’s say I have 7 clients: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. I’d like to create a forum between myself and client A, that clients B-G can’t see. And a separate forum between myself and client B, that client A and clients C-G can’t see. And so on. (And I’d like to have a main forum that all clients A-G can see, but I figure that’s much easier.)

How would I go about setting up a forum for each individual client, that no one else can see? Are there plugins I would need? Code to hack?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi, Robin!

Thanks so much for linking me to your Private Groups plugin!

If I’m understanding things correctly, I would need to do two things:
1. Create forums that are either “private” or “hidden” and then
2. Create private groups (1 group for each client) and assign each group to a separate forum.

Do I have this right? Do I want a “private” or a “hidden” forum for each?
I don’t want non-clients to be able to see client information.

Thank you! ♥

1. forums can be public, my plugin hides them, just don’t set visibility.

2. set a group for each client, then allocate a forum to each group, and the clients of that forum to the group. so forums => group => clients

Thank you, Robin!
Once I get my test environment set up, I will try this out!
