Hey folks,
I’m trying to get my Forum up & running, now I have a question about rights, roles & permissions.

I’m trying to achieve the following:

Have a member only Forum, the visitors can see the categories, forums, and threads in there (so they see there’s some action going on) but they can’t see replies, answers and contents of the threads.

If you set the forums to private you don’t see anything…

Anyone knows a solution for that?

I’ll point you to have a read the following two threads first:

Allowing Participants to View Hidden Forums

How can I make private forums visible to visitors

They both link to https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2089#comment:6 which has some thoughts on potential directions for bbPress privacy & visibility of forums.
