Hello, is there a configuration to hide the entire forum for guests and show a message like "not authorized"? I changed all the accesses and usergroups but the forum is still showing the upper menu with the "forum" an "recent post" tags. Thank you!
Hello, could someone help me with this please? Thank you 🙂
@minimumcapitain Hello, you can restrict access to the forum page. Find the page that contains the [wpforo] shortcode (usually titled "Forum"). Use the Plugin Members to restrict access to logged-in users only. Set a custom message for unauthorized users like:
"You are not authorized to view this forum. Please log in."

I think the easiest way to hide the entire forum from guests without using custom code is to adjust the forum’s built-in permission settings. Most platforms have options to restrict viewing to registered members only. If you’re not sure where to find these settings, you can check the platform’s documentation or ask in the admin help section. I also found this tech info article useful when learning about forum privacy configurations.
