Hi,

I have installed bbPress and I was wondering …

– I only want the forum to be visible when a user has logged in, so any one except anonymous can see the forums… (i mean the page where you can actually see the forums & topics ..)

– I also want the widget with the forum categories to be visible only for the logged in users (I’ve done this with dynamic widgets)

– and finally I want the menu-item that points to the forums also only visible to any one except anonymous …

– the contents of the forum should not be indexed by search engines, i think i can do this with robots.txt?

thanks !

Just set your forums to ‘private’

Visibility: decide whether your forum is public, private or hidden.
Public – Anyone can see these forums
Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums
