 * I just set up a forum using WordPress and bbPress. 3 or 4 forums are to be hidden
   from public view and only accessible with username/password.
 * How do I set this up?

 * Thank you! I set the forums to private already (read how) but now I’ll check 
   your plugin. Will post when installed and tested in a few days.
 * Edit: just read about it. Everything shows when logged in. I want this hidden
   to all unless they use a password and each private forum will have its own members.

 * Is that for WordPress or will it work with bbPress, too? Reading seems that yoy
   can create a group and limit it to that group but it appears to be for WP…?

 * I guess you should ask the developer directly to get a better idea. I haven’t
   dug into it either, because never needed it.

 * Did but no response. As soon as the site is functioning, I’ll activate and test
   it
