 * So I was recently given control over my volunteer organizations website after
   our last webmaster did not follow instructions or help with development.
 * I’m having some difficulty adjusting to using WordPress, I need to add a Members
   only forums for the organizations members. the rest of the page needs to be free
   and open to the public. I will manually add the users in with their emails and
   assign a generic password that they later can change. I only want them to be 
   able to log into the webpage and not wordpress.
 * this is the website [http://mnemshonorguard.org/](http://mnemshonorguard.org/)
 * Im no good at code reading or changing.
 * I tried using BBPress but wasn’t getting anywhere at all. looking for help the
   correct application and step by step guide if at all possible
 * Many Thanks

 * For your purpose, I’d definitely recommend bbPress: [http://bbpress.org/](http://bbpress.org/)
 * When you ran into trouble with that, did you ask over at [http://bbpress.org/forums/](http://bbpress.org/forums/)?
   They’re very helpful over there.
 * Also, I highly recommend reading this: [https://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start](https://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start)
