I have a site which should be able to be viewed by anyone, but authored/edited only by a small number of registered users.

I want to be able to control who can/cannot register, and be able to restrict access to some users to only be allowed to add/edit some forums.

I am not sure about the ways WP and bbPress work together in registration and access.

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Regards
Pete

Hi Pete,

Your questions on viewed by anyone and registration are a pure WordPress matter as bbPress is using WordPress users. What does not come out of the box can be accomplished with some plugins.

To restrict bbPress, I personally use ‘bbP Private Groups’ and ‘Members’ from Justin Tadlock, but there are others of course.
