Hi, a complete noob to BBPress, and a bit of knowledge about WP (enough to get into trouble).

We want a site which has:

– static content and blogs, available to the public

– static and contributed content restricted to members

– forum available to members only.

We do not want SEO, robots or anything to be indexing content in the forums

We want some of the member content to be indexed

Anything in the public area to be indexed.

The forums are based around mutual help/support and needs to be kept private (at least, from the world at large)

Capacity needs to be scalable to 75,000 active members, at any one time.

My question is, what would be the best way to handle this?

I see a standard WP site, with member restricted content; a standalone BBPress site (as a sub-domain) with user access based on the WP site (ie the only way to get to the forum is thru logon at the WP site)

We need to be scale and protect each of the “elements” (static/members/forum) independently.

all thoughts would be welcome.

thanks

Create robots.txt file, Add: Disallow: /your-forum-name/

This would prevent all bots from indexing pages under this category.
