Hi! I need to allow private groups to have the ability to set their forum to public so that anyone can post and ask them questions and they can share news etc through the forum.

Even if I set forum to Public that doesn’t help as the the group being private seems to override it.

Could you point me in the right direction to get this to work, as I really would like to be able to do this.

a frontend option to allow the forums to be public in a private group seems kind of custom.

maybe consider posting a job and hire a developer to add this functionality for you.

if your using BuddyPress for Groups you can contact their forum for help too.

if you are using the bbPress – Private Groups plugin contact Robin on the plugins forum or on his personal site.
