User’s seeing forum topics they do not have permission to.

    We have a site using bbPress and the Private groups plugin. Users are assigned to specific forums by groups but for some reason under their profile page under the “Subscriptions” tab they are able to see topics under “Unread Forum Topics” to forums they should not have access to. They can also click on these topics and access that topic.

    Is there away to restrict the topics they see to ONLY the ones they have permission to view according to their private group settings?

    as a test can you try with just bbpress and private groups, as if that is ok, add the others back until you find which one is allowing this

    Okay. Sort of related question…Is it possible to auto subscribe a group to the forums they are assigned to?

    Issue seems to be the Mark as Read plugin. In fact that section doesn’t even show up under subscriptions until that plugin is activated?! Is the “UNREAD FORUM TOPICS” not part of bbPress’s default functionality?
