bb press version: 2.6.9

I have a WordPress website with Restricted content pro (membership plugin), bbpress and buddy press. There are some forum pages, that are pages with bb press shortcodes and blocked with Restricted content pro and its locked message for logged out users appears(such as https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/forum/ OR https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/new-topic/). That is working fine. However, pages generated from the post type such as the archive page https://jewishwomenofwisdom.org/forums/, aren’t blocked and can be accessed (and a list of categories can be seen). Then when a logged OUT user tries to click on a topic to see topic content, it send them to a funny login (not restricted content pro) and then when they click the “log in” button, (whether or not the username and password fields are filled in) in they are redirected to the regular RCP login. That is an extra step. How do I get rid of the middle step?

(not sure if this info is relevant: Under Restrict – buddypress , I set that “Redirect to page” to a page called “locked content”.)

Thank you in advance.

bbpress just uses custom post types and worpdress login, your issue is how restrict content pro is dealing with custom post types. It also looks like you have your forums set as public hence why they appear in the forum list.

The page you get to is a bbpress template, but given that you should not be getting to this page, is probably a red herring.

As restrict content pro is a paid plugin, you first port of call is to them.

You might also wish to look at

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/ which might help you in your set up, but might not – I don’t know what you are trying to do 🙂

by the way you could try having a main forums page and using restrict to prevent access to that

Thank you. I tried that and at first it was working and now it’s not. I reached out to their support.

looks like it is an additional plugin

bbPress

It’s already installed. Thanks though.
