Hello there lovely Community&Devs,

Since i update bbPress last weekend. Not logged in users are able to view the forums.
Id like to prevent that but havent found an option via the Dashboard.

Can someone point me in the right direction/to the right file so i can prevent not logged in users from viewing the forum.

Thanks in advance,

Avery

With bbPress the only way to do this is with “private” or “hidden” forums

• Public – Anyone can see these forums
• Private – Only logged in registered users can see these forums
• Hidden – Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

Are you using private forums?

If not maybe your using a membership type plugin to prevent users who are not logged in from seeing the forums?

The snippet will do:
IF the user is not logged-in..
AND the page name is ‘members’ OR ‘activity’ OR bp-profile-page..
THEN it will redirect to REGISTER page.
