Hello,
There is a plugin for bbpress called "Private Groups" which allows you create groups and then assign forums to the group in order to make them private. Only users belonging to a group can view the particular forum. See plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
So, you can have a Readers club or Painters club, etc on the same forum.
Please, do you have this feature in WPFORO? If not, please, is this something you intend to implement soon? If yes, please how soon will this feature be available?
I am asking because I really like WPForo but I really need Private Groups.
Regards,
Francis
Hi Dear @francisokech
Please take a look to this FAQ topic
https://wpforo.com/community/faq/wordpress-user-roles-wpforo-usergroups-and-forum-accesses/
@blackraz I have read the permissions information and still do not understand if it is possible to set up a child forum with permissions that enable some people to "read and write" and others can only "read". If that is not possible to do, then I still don't understand how to set up a second parent forum in which certain people can only "write" while others can "read and write". I already have a parent forum and would like to add a child forum (aka a category) that allows only some members to read and write while the remaining members of the parent forum may only "read" this child forum/category. I have already set up the new category ( https://www.jeannemayell.com/community/forum-for-students-of-jeannes-intuition-classes/) but have not yet found a way create separate permissions for a select group within that parent. As I said, if the wpforo rules do not allow separate permissions within the same parent, then I would like to know how to set up a second parent forum on the same website (https:www.jeannemayell.com) that limits the ability to "write" to certain users.
Hello BalckRaz,
Thanks for your reply.
Can a user be in multiple usergroups and access multiple private forums as well as public ones?
Yes. You just need to read attentive the topic we suggested you. Please spend 10 min and read all. Without understanding the Usergroup and Forum Access system you can't manage your private forums. Here is another simple example, how to create a simple private forum: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/limited-access-forums/#post-16376
