Password protect an topic? - How-to and Troubleshooting - wpForo 2.0 https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/password-protect-an-topic/ Discussion Board en-US Sun, 09 Aug 2026 20:21:03 +0000 wpForo 60 RE: Password protect an topic? https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/password-protect-an-topic/paged/2/#post-2097 Wed, 28 Sep 2016 22:19:18 +0000 THOUGHT....

I found a plugin that will allow access to a given page only if the user is user is verified as a PayPal user. Payment would redirect said user to a given page.

 

As such, would it be possible to move one 'thread', i.e. "main coaching thread' in the above example to it's own page?

If so, a paid Paypal user could have access to that thread but the rest of the forum (on a different page) could be accessed by any subscriber.... just trying to figure out a workaround.

Thanks.

There is no membership options yet. I'll add it in our to-do list.

Meenakshi, thanks for the up-vote.

Just so we're on the same page, here is my forum set-up to date:
http://www.bodycoachcanada.com/community/

'Main Coaching Thread' (third from the top) is what I'd like to give private access to (for paying clients. I've seen this on many forums, i.e. you click on the topic and it reads 'for paying members only, click here to join' or something to that effect.

Is this possible? I'd be willing to pay for a feature like this (read as, up-sell request ;) ).

I hope you're talking about Private Topics. Currently wpForo has Private Forum option, you just need to set "No Access" permission to all usergroups excerpt topic users usergroup. 

I'm sorry but I have no ETA yet for private topics. We're still working on "Private Topic" feature. Currently you can move all topics (which should be private) in a Private Forum and keep those private.

Can anyone suggest a workaround?

I have a general forum with several threads, but one of which we only want available to certain users.

 

Thanks in advance.

Mike
