I have two WordPress open sites. I have installed BuddyPress and bbpress on site two.
Site #1 sends participants to site #2 to join the forum. All partisipants are graduates of a training course. Upon completion of course they receive the invitation to the forum and a password.

Site #2- http://biblicalspiritualwarfare.org/

I set this scheme up on the advise of a blogger.

Does any one have any idea how to translate this situation into a private forum. There are hundreds of participants and I am trying to NOT manually register each on my end.

I would be very grateful for your advise.

The problem here is that you want automatic registration, but a private forum, ie only people who are authorised can automatically join. Yes?

On-going, I presume that you’ll only have a few course participants joining at any time time, so a manual process would be quite easy. I do all mine manually, and it takes me less than one minute to add a user to my forum.

I can only suggest you look at some membership plugins to see if these can help.
