Correct. I may have mis-named this by calling it “private forum”.
The site I am working on only allows signed in users to view the forums.
Yes I did.
The solution was to create a file in my theme’s folder named bbpress.php. I then copied the contents of my theme’s page.php file into the new file and modified it to only show it’s contents when a user is logged in. In my case it looked like the following:
`if( is_user_logged_in() ) {
get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘page’ );
}
else{
_e(‘You must be logged in to view this page.’, ‘twentyten-child’);
}
Apparently the bbpress plugin looks in a a particular order for the template it will use (see http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-do-i-choose-a-custom-template-for-the-bbpress-20-plugin). I chose bbpress.php since it is the first place it looks and is clear that it it for this plugin.
