I want to install forum / help desk / q&a type plugin and I am considering bbPress for this.

Does bbPress allow for private posts whereby the submitter must register to the site and can only gain access to their own posts by logging in? Also, can posts be kept private so no other member can see them?

THis is probably possible with a specific conditional and might be custom development for now to create in bbPress. You may need to hire a developer to create this for you.

Ok, got it @robkk — “it is not part of the out-of-the-box functionality”.

So I’ll look into building a private help desk / q&a capability myself. I’m a developer.

Thank you for responding.

Okay, well it depends on what you need specifically on the site you are building. There are features that can get you some peices that are in all of what you mentioned, and maybe more through some plugins.
