Hi,
I want to create private forums in bbpress. if a user wants to get access in this private forum he should request it from the admin. I want this private forum to be visible from all users but not accesssable until the user get the access permission. I am using ultimate member plugin with bbpress.

Thanks in advance.

I have installed this plugin but when a user hasn’t permission access in a private forum he cant see it so he cant request access. I want to see the forum but cant access it until admin give him permission.

set forum to public and use private groups to protect it – ie set at least one group ! Then use forum visibility

Thanks for the answer. Is there any way for the user to request access permission?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 11 months ago]

set up a page and use a contact form plugin, then set the redirects in the private groups plugin forum visibility tab to that page

You saved my life, thanks for the answers.

The only problem is that i don’t know which forum the user will request permit access, is any solution for this?

[@robin-w Moderator 3 years, 11 months ago]

nothing automatic, I’d suggest you just create a check list or drop down list in your contact form

And one more question. Can i assign one user to multiple groups? For example i have forum 1 and forum 2, Group 1 can access forum 1 and Group 2 can access forum 2. I want to assign user x to have access both forum 1 and forum 2.

yes – that is no problem – just go into dashboard>users>edit and you can select which groups they belong to

Thank you very much once again.
