Hey there,

I’ve read several threads as well as the getting started documentation, and I’m still totally confused about private forums.

I’m about to teach an online class via my website, and I’ve created a discussion forum for students who have registered for the class.

How do I allow ONLY those who have registered for my class to access the forum?

Do I need a special plugin other than BBpress?

Thanks so much!
Sharon

s2member will allow creating a paid membership bbpress site and restrict access to specific forums by user role (membership level)

paid membership pro works with bbpress as well, requires (free) optional add-on plugins to restrict forums per member levels and/or per user role

Thanks, Sam!

Your idea led me to another plugin by Robin Wilson (called Private Groups), which is working beautifully for me.

Thanks again!
Sharon
