Create a private forum with bbPress

[wambamboo]

Hi
Is there any way of making a private forum or even private posts using bbPress?
I’ve looked at the Plugins and the only ones that look suitable haven’t been updated for a few years.
Thanks

This is probably your best option:
http://www.adityanaik.com/projects/plugins/bb-private-forums/

It hasn’t been updated recently, but has been used by several people with the most recent update of bbPress, so it should be fine.

Or, if you want all forums to be private, what I’ve done is add a conditional statement to the top of the page. (If logged in, show the forums; if not, show the login page.)

How does this actually work?

this is so easy;

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    echo 'Welcome, registered user!';
} else {
    echo 'register and login!';
}
?>
