First let me say what an incredible plugin you have here. Really love it. Looks great out of the box and simple to use. Except ....
I am sure I am doing something wrong. I have a website that I built for our Home Owners Association. I have set up a general forum for our members. No issues. I then set up a private board for our Board Members and gave access to only those members who are on the board. I have tested it and only those people can see the board. So far so good. It is structured as follows:
Board Member (forum)
Issues (forum)
Finances (forum) etc.
Financial Issues (topic set to private)
When I use the widget - wpforo recent topics or wpforo recent posts it shows the topics from the private forum to all members and the first line of the topic or so. Clearly I don't want this to show at all unless it is to a Board Member or a member of that group. What am I doing incorrectly?
Are you sure it shows it to all members. Have you tried viewing the site as a non-board member?
I previously thought this was happening but it was just because I was logged in as admin.
To be sure, use a different browser and create a new account if necessary.
