I have spent hours looking through new and older posts on related topic and tried different approaches, including using the “Members” and “User Role Editor” plugins. This is related to the WordPress bbPress plugin.

I understand that changing the forum visibility forth and back is risky, so I have avoided that. I have only a limited amount of other plugins installed.

I am not going to list all the issues I have had, but instead hope that someone (if any) who has this up and running can reveal the secret.

Any comments would be highly appreciated.
