Oh, shoot! One more question:

Can this be edited?

"Your user level does not have appropriate permission to view the content"

With instructions re: how to join?

Thanks!

@eel,

The filter by forum doesn't work yet. Please don't use it. It'll be fixed in one of the upcoming versions.

As per the private forum displaying issue, you should set the following permissions to the forum accesses you use (wpForo > Accesses):

Yes | Can view forum
No | Can enter forum

So, users will see forums, but they'll not be able to see the topics inside the forums.

@chris thank you. I see this option on both topics and posts widgets but I don't see how to select the forums to omit or include.

@eel,

You can use Filter by Forums option in widgets settings. Set the widget to show public forum content, not the private one.

@chris thanks! I see the distinction there. Problem is, people can see something tasty on sidebar widget; click it and find out they're blocked. It seems this will frustrate the user. Is there anyway to omit the private from from the widget(s), entirely?
