I have a news website and want to add a private forum to it. I don't need anything fancy such as Login Press or Force Login for now. All I want to do is have a button on the home page that links to the WPForo login, but in a way that shows nothing but the login screen (no forum information) prior to approved login. 

I have reviewed the post.. how-to-hide-the-entire-forum-behind-a-login-page   And I have completed the instructions found on https://gvectors.com/how-to-set-up-private-forum/ .

The problem is that the WPForo login page defaults to the home page of my website rather than allowing me to use a button to access it. I am so close and am sure I am missing something trivial. Thanks. Jeff

@jeff-hilles,

The problem is that the WPForo login page defaults to the home page of my website rather than allowing me to use a button to access it. I am so close and am sure I am missing something trivial. Thanks. Jeff

Do you mean the wpForo login menu item is included in the menu? Could you please leave some screenshots to allow us better understand it? 

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.

I am very sorry. The problem was self-inflicted. I was using an admin URL by mistake. By the way, this app is absolutely amazing in how much flexibility it provides, yet still easy enough for a beginner like me. I researched for hours looking at all the reviews, before choosing WPForo. Thank you for offering it w/o ads or limits for free. I don't need any of the add-ons right now but I do hope you guys are making a good living on the business model you choose. Thanks for the quick support response. Jeff.
