I’m installing bbPress on a blog that is restricted, and would like to know if you have only logged as people view the forum content. How can I do this?

thanks

I think you can just create a page, name it FORUM then set it to private so only the logged in users will see the forum. Or you can tweak you child template and make a conditional statement out of it like:

<?php if (!(current_user_can(‘level_0’))){
echo””;
else{
echo “”;
}
?>

Hope this help you.

Thank you,

Worked per page, then sufficed to put all private forums and it worked.

You can also use hidden forums to allow only registered users to view

You can also use hidden forums to allow only registered users to view

Visibility:
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

Hi Stephen, a revelation!
Can I suggest you include this in the documentation somewhere please as I’ve just spent half a day trying to discover the relevance and extent of these three visibility categories. It needs to be in ‘Part 1’ of setting up…..
Cheers, Den.

Den – Thanks for the feedback- on review the guide was both unclear and on one point wrong !

I have amended and updated the guide to make it both clearer and correct in step 5.

Please continue to provide feedback – this helps others who come after you !
