I have been struggling with what I thought was something that was pretty simple.
I have a WP site and am using BBpress for the forum. I want user-X to be able to view the forums but not to post. I made user-X a subscriber in WP and a spectator in BBpress and made some forums private others public as a test. When I go to view the forums as user-X I can only see the Public forums. However if I change Spectator to Participant for user-X I can then see all the forums but then user-X can post which I do not want.
I came across your plugin BBP Private Groups when searching literature for an answer to my problem.I did download it but am have problems understanding its use but that is a problem with me and not the plugin.
Frankly I do not see why BBPress doesn’t work without any plugins as it looks like BBPress was designed as I am using it. Any help is appreciated and if I should post this elsewhere, my apologies.
