Forums not being restricted

[Bet Hannon]

I’ve installed PMP and PMP – bbPress Add On, added some member levels and restricted the forums to those member levels, but the forums are still showing to the public, unlogged in site visitors.

I’ve deactivated all other plugins except bbpress, PMP & PMP bbpress, but the forums still show.

This is a dev site: https://devhof.churchwebprogram.com/forums/, where you can see the forums that should be restricted.

What other troubleshooting should come next?

Note that the url of the dev site forums page is: https://devhof.churchwebprogram.com/forums/?noaccess=1

So it “knows” that it’s supposed to not have access… but it’s displaying the forums anyway.

Did you try with a default WP theme like twenty-fifteen? I have a suspicion it’s from your iThemes Builder but I’m not certain of it.

PMPro bbPress will not hide the existence of the forums by default. But it will redirect anyone loading a thread out of that forum.

Here is a code gist you can use to hide the forums from the list as well:
