 * I have read the other threads and don’t see my issue being addressed. Thanks 
   in advance for your time. I also love this plugin, can hardly wait to start using
   it!
 * I have a membership site, with the following roles:
    visitor with read only on
   every item on the site free subscriber that also has contributor status and 3
   paid subscriber roles that also have contributor status.
 * I only want the 3 paid subscriber roles to have access to the forum
 * I have gone to the role permissions page
 * set admin and the 3 paid memberships to yes
    set the wordpress roles to no
 * Each time I make changes I refresh the roles.
 * In settings I enabled guest permissions
 * Then I go into wpbb and set the permissions for a forum, which I copied to all
   of the other forums. In this one I give the desired permissions/role
 * Then I tested each forum in each role. Everything works except for the free subscriber.
   They can see/write the forum.
 * Can you tell from this description what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks in advance!

 * Hey iempoweru,
 * If the permissions aren’t saving correctly when you create or edit a forum or
   subforum then please try from your admin dashboard -> WPBB -> Tools -> Refresh
   Roles.
 * It should work if you don’t want your subscribers to view a forum, did you set
   any permissions for them at all? I’d try to uncheck all permissions for subscribers.
   Do your users have more than 1 role? Because it they do, if that other role has
   permission they will have permission.
 * Also if you have denied a role access to a forum, they will still be able to 
   see it and look inside the forum but they won’t be able to view or create any
   topics.
 * Will be introducing a new permission in a future update so that you can stop 
   permissions seeing / viewing inside a forum entirely.
 * Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with 🙂
 * Thanks
