Hi, my needs are pretty simple. I’m looking for an alternative to google groups. I need a place in my WordPress site where only members can post and only members can read the posts. And I need a way for members to receive one email each time there is a new post. There needs to be an archive that members can consult to dig around and find a particular post from the past.

I have had various frustrations with google groups and yahoo groups. In theory the way they work would suit our group just fine, but in practice, there have been some problems, so now it’s time to look for an alternative.

As you can see, I don’t need to do anything fancy. My question is, shall I install the Private Groups plugin, the bbpress plugin, or both?

Thank you.

the Private Groups plugin needs bbPress so both.

Robins got you just in case you forgot about the topic in his plugin support forum
