Lock/Assign Specific Forums to Specific Members Only
-
Hi. I am using BBpress to add a community component to my mostly informational site. What I want is for my forums to:
1) be hidden from nonlogged in members;
2) require members to be able to login and check the 1 forum that I assign to them for updates, WITHOUT having access to someone elses forum.
Is this at all possible through an existing plugin or through some code modification?
I am using wp-members for registration/login stuff. That plugin does have the ability to lock access to pages and posts, but currently, I don’t use those features.
I am also using latest BBpress and WordPress software.
Thank you.

I am looking for the same thing : I’d like to be able to manage user access on a per forum basis.
Ie :
– Users A, B, C have access to forum 1
– Users C, D, E, have access to forum 2
– User A does not have access to forum 2
– User E does not have access to forum 1I tried to look into the WordPress capabilities and roles management, but since a given user can only have one role, this does not solve my problem. In my example above, users B and C would not be able to access 2 different restricted forums.
I read somewhere on this forum (but can find where !) that user access management like this was planned for BBpress 2.1, but I realize this was not the case.
I searched for a plugin, with no luck. I also tried other WordPress forum plugins, some offer a feature like this, but I didn’t like the rest of what they offered in comparison with BBpress.
Any idea of a solution that would not be over-complicated ? Or is it a feature that’s being looked into for a future BBpress release ?
