Hello,

I have a new bbpress site with buddypress integrated (bbpress was installed and set up first.) Admins can see all forums, Participants cannot see Hidden forums, unless it is associated with a buddypress group of which they are a member. The site is jingfangacademy.com
Fixes I have tried:

1. Deactivated all plugins one by one.
2. Tried other themes: 2013, 2015, 2016
3. Tools > Forums > ran all tools
4. Changed user role permissions with third-party plugins: User Role Editor, Members
5. WP and all plugins up to date.

I’ve added no CSS to the site. I’m a novice and I don’t own the hosting account, so I’m hoping to fix this without adding code. I’ve tried all the fixes I could find in related threads.

Thanks for any help!

I think I solved this one. Someone suggested changing all the private forums to public, then back again. Worked like a charm! I have no idea why.
