I use a forum for a 6 week course then I start a new forum for the next one. I don’t want to lose information from the first forum (I answer things and like to have the area for reference). I don’t see how to unpublish. I set it to hidden and made it private but it is still showing on my list of forums when I click on my menu item forum.

Unfortunately you can’t see because it is behind a member area. If it is still showing what is “hidden” and “private” doing.

Thanks

I suspect that you can still see it as either you’re a keymaster, moderator or wp-admin.

Private forums are only visible to logged in users
Hidden forums are only viewable by keymasters, moderators or admins

so you want to reset your forum to hidden, and you will still see them, but users won’t unless you give them privileges.
