"Required Membership" issue w/blog & forum sidebars

[dcheek]

The only way to access content on my site is to become a paid member. Non members are not suppose to access our video blog content or forum. I use PMPro w/”Required Membership” on the pages & check the membership checkboxes. This works fine w/pages that don’t have a blog sidebar or forum sidebar. However, it doesn’t work w/pages w/a blog sidebar or forum sidebar even when using “Required Membership”. Non members are able to access content. I’m hoping it’s a configuration setting I’m missing since I’m unable to find others with this same issue.
Here is what is installed:
Wordpress 4.1.5
bbPress 2.5.7 (has a field configuration setting in general settings for forum page name so forum sidebar can be included. “Required Membership” is set on this page but doesn’t appear to be working since non members can access it.)
bbPress WP Tweaks 1.3.1
PMPro 1.8.4.4
PMPro-Email Templates .5.4.2
Theme My Login 6.3.12

Thanks in advance!

PMPro appears to not work/restrict non-members from pages that have bbPress widget sidebar and blog sidebar.
To get around this limitiation I had to implement two additional plugins:
Widget Logic

Menu Items Visibility Control

Not sure if this is related to your widgets issue with bbPress or not but there is a PMPro Add-On for bbPress too:

Regardless, I think it’s great that you stopped back to update this thread with the solution that worked for you.
