Hi. Thanks for good adons.

My forum is a private one, only for resisters.

But when a guest search "a" or something it shows almost all private topics...

Do you have a plan to fix it? I want search function working on each permission.

Hi @gordonfreezeman

wpForo doesn't have such problem. This is a wrong configuration issue. You've done something wrong.

First, you should set correct permissions for each forum, not only for the top/parent categories. Please edit each forums and make sure the Guest usergroup is attached to No Access forum access.

Then edit the No Access forum access in Forums > Settings > Forum Accesses admin page and make sure all permissions are disabled.

Then navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard and click on [Delete all cache] and [Update forum statistic] buttons.

Thanks for your advice. But I'm still confused.

My guest permission is "can view forum : checked" and "can view topic : unchecked", "can view replies : unchecked".
I expected it prevented to show topics or replies for guest even on search menu, but was I wrong?
I need to show forum (not replies) for guest, because it needs to recruit new members.

My best wish is like an attached file. When I set for guest "can view forum : checked", "can view topic : checked" and, "can view replies : unchecked", I also expected for it. 
I can't understand the meaning of permission you mentioned, because I expected so.
Please teach me what is the difference between "can view topic" and "can view replies"? It seems same for me.

This is the problem. If you've set it "Can view forum" nothing else can stop it. wpForo works correct. There is no any issue here. wpForo search is forum permission sensitive, it doesn't matter the topic or reply is disabled for guests. You can set Topics private (using Private button) if you don't want to show them in Non-Private forums.
