                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You'll need <a href="https://gvectors.com/product/wpforo-user-custom-fields/" target="true">wpForo Users Custom Fields</a> addon to make it possible.</p>
<p>After reading and understanding Usergroups and Secondary Usergroups you should follow to this instruction:</p>
<ol>
<li>Then create for example two Secondary Usergroups (<span style="color: #ff0000">SG1</span> and <span style="color: #0000ff">SG2</span>) for two forums (<span style="color: #ff0000">F1</span> and <span style="color: #0000ff">F2</span>)</li>
<li>Set <span style="color: #0000ff">"No Access"</span> for <span style="color: #0000ff">SG2</span> and<span style="color: #ff0000">"Standard Access"</span> for <span style="color: #ff0000">SG1</span> in <span style="color: #ff0000">F1</span> forum</li>
<li>Set <span style="color: #ff0000">"No Access"</span> for <span style="color: #ff0000">SG1</span> and <span style="color: #0000ff">"Standard Access"</span> for <span style="color: #0000ff">SG2</span> in <span style="color: #0000ff">F2</span> forum</li>
<li>Install the User Custom Fields addon, navigate to Dashboard &gt; Forums &gt;&nbsp; Member Fields &gt; Field Manager Tab, edit the Secondary Usergroups field and only enable the <span style="color: #ff0000">SG1</span> and <span style="color: #0000ff">SG2</span> usergroups.</li>
<li>Then go to Dashboard &gt; Forums &gt;&nbsp; Member Fields &gt; Registration Form Tab and add the Secondary Usergroup field.</li>
</ol>
<p>After these steps the registration from will show groups in a dropdown. People select whichever they want to participate and register. So they automatically get correct Secondary Usergroup and correct access to the forums.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>Important Notes:</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>If you want to totally hide <span style="color: #ff0000">F1</span> for <span style="color: #0000ff">SG2</span> or vice versa you should use the "No Access", if you just want to prevent <span style="color: #0000ff">SG2</span> users to open a topic or post reply just use the<span style="color: #ff00ff"> "Read Only"</span> access.</li>
<li>Also, the same "No Access" or the "Read Only" access should be given to other non-moderator usergroups, such as <span style="color: #ff6600">"Registered", "Customers", "Guests"</span>.</li>
</ol>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello gVectors team,</p>
<p>I'm using you forum plugin to create a private community for my client.</p>
<p>It's working good all registered user can access the forum that we can manage it in the Backend.</p>
<p>But I have one request from the client.</p>
<p><strong>"it is possible that people can only register for a Club because currently when I register I have access to all clubs. Ideally we should be able to choose which club we join, and we should just have access to the content of the clubs we are registered in."</strong></p>
<p>*club is a forum category</p>
<p>You can tell me if it possible or not or I need to buy an addon or if it need add some custom script, you can send it for me.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>]]></content:encoded>
