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.

Find the page that contains the 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 changed all the accesses and usergroups but the forum is still showing the upper menu with the "forum" an "recent post" tags. Thank you!
