I am making a discussion forum that is entirely private. I really don't want guests to have any option other than to register (which I have set to require approval). I don't want them to see newest member, latest post, recent post, any of that.
Any recommendations how to lock this down fully? Specifically, for now, I don't want them seeing this at the front end, as a person can see on this page here (attached)
Under Forums > Usergroups > Guest (edit) I have unchecked every single item available there (nothing is checked). In an attempt to do this generally, I have gone into Forums > Settings > Features and disabled "Show Forum Statistic" (NO) entirely. For some reason, the stat info can still be seen by random visitors (guest) at the front end to visit the page. I cleared the cache under Forums > Dashboard > Delete All Caches
Thoughts, help? This is my first post here, and this is also my first ever experience creating a forum of my own on my own website, so just keep that in mind. Thanks!
Hi @d4nnyb0y02,
First of all, thank you for using wpForo.

All recommendations can be found under the private forum tag.

If you use some other cache plugins please delete those plugins caches ass well. Also please don't forget to press CTRL+F5 (twice) on forum frontend forum before checking.
