I am sorry if this has already been posted, but I seem to not be able to find the exact answer to my question.

Question: I want to make my bbPress forum completely private so that no one can see the post of anything like that UNLESS that register AND I also want it so that I have to approve a user before they can view and use the forum. So that everything displayed on the forum if completely private.

Answer: I have the answer to the first question (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/34?replies=1) but I need the answer to the second and I want to make sure that is will work with making the forum complete private (the first question).

Thank you.

The answer is no.

This could be solved with a plugin, it just doesn’t exist though.

Hmmm, so their is no way for me to approve users before they gain access to the forum……?

Not by default install. Could be done by a plugin, but one to do it does not yet exist.
