Securing bbPress

    Hi,

    Hoping someone can help. I want a private forum which only logged in users can access. I have also installed bbpress private groups to set up groups of users for particular forums.
    The forums have been set to private and the groups plugin has allowed me to create groups and manage access to forums based on these groups.

    What is concerning however is that google is returning search replies of the url:
    http://www.mysite/forums/user/useremailaddress/
    I can then access their profile; topics; replies and favorites…

    This is a HUGE problem for my users.

    How do i go about restricting this as I have obviously incorrectly assumed this would be covered with the steps I have already taken

    Many thanks.

    Contact Robin about this in his plugin support forum for his private groups plugin.

    Oh ok, thanks for that

    If i decide not use the bbpress private groups plugin and keep the forums to private would that keep the forums/user info private?

    Yes, but I think to an extent. If you have the forums as private and not public. And you may need to noindex the posts as well since you aaid your posts are in public search results.
