I have a forum setup as private, when logged in you can view the forum just fine. But when not logged on and you try to view the forum page /forums/forum/forum-name it takes you to the standard wordpress 404 page. I’ve tried creating that page structure in the page manager but that didn’t seem to work, I created a forums page, a forum page as a child, and a forum-name page as a child. When I tested the page on a logged in user it took me to the forum page but when not logged in the page still takes me to the 404. How can I control this page?

Thanks

Private forums are only visible to logged in users.

I realize that, but is there a way to send a user that isn’t logged in to a login/register page? So that it doesn’t just send the user to a 404 page.

Thanks.

You’re right.
If i’m reading a private forum and I logout I’m redirected to the same page and I get a 404. It would be better if I were redirected to the Home or to a login page.
