thanks for your answer shanebp.
i didn’t understand all you said but it lead me to the solution. so thank you
i am a rookie so i didn’t know the basics on how to use buddy press with bbpress…
so maybe a rookie can find this helpfully
this is what i did.
i went to bbpress.
i created a forum called general public and another called vip section
then i went buddy press group section and i created a group called vip, here is the thing. the group doesn’t make a forum. you must make it firt. in this example i took the vip section forum.
this were my steps
1) in FORUM. i created:
*general public forum (the one everyone must be able to see and participate) has the standard settings
*vip section forum (the one only for the people of the vip group) has this settings: tipe: forum; State: Open; visibility: Private
2) in GROUPS. i created a new group called VIP
this were the settings, Is a Hidden Group. and invitations can only be given by admins and moderators
in this way:
– when people is not logged in they can only see the general public forum.
– when they logging they can participate in the general public forum, they can see the private vip section forum but they cannot participated in it (i wanted that they would see it neither but this is how it works) in other words, they can see the group forum (vip section) but they cannot see what´s inside.
– when a member of the vip group logging they can see and participated in bouth forums.
