Hi,

Well, made some permission tests and sadly WpForo is visible for DEFAULT normal registered user. (attach)

How can i fix this, so the "subscriber" role be just a subscriber (to see only his profile, and profile only as it should)

Regards.

Are you trying to prevent anyone other than you (admin) from being able to see the WordPress Dashboard? I have my forum setup to never allow any user to get to (or see) the WP dashboard. So http://example.com/wp-admin redirects all users except for me to the forum homepage. If a user wants to edit their profile, they can do so by editing the wpForo user profile page. Is that what you're trying to accomplish?

wpForo Dashboard page had only been designed to show some information and stat data. So the initial permission was given to all registered usergroups. Currently it has cache clearing buttons so we've already planned to make it only available for admins. We'll do this change in next version.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
