How can I make all forums only accessible to logged in users? At the moment I can set each forum and topic’s status as private manually, as well as the page the forum index appears on but it is still possible to see some pages directly as a non-logged in user via the url such as domain.com/forums/.

Is there a straight forward way to do this? Thanks!

Hi,
Not sure how far you want to go, but I’m using https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ to shield forums from unwanted users.

Use a plugin like this to hide any bbPress pages if the user is not logged in. It hides the bbPress feeds too.

And you do not have to make a topic private if the forum is private. Make sure to make the forums private by going into Forums > All Forums and editing them from there.

Edit: Just saw I pasted the wrong url haha sorry
