I have downloaded buddypress in order to use it internally amongst members (admins),
but when i create a group i have 3 options, Public, Private, Hidden.
I don’t want it to be public, because non-members can see the topics and threads,
Private however, is still visible by non-members.
And hidden just straight up doesn’t show it on the page, not even members can see it.
Neither option caters for what i need.
Does anyone know how to make a group, forum topic, hidden to non-members, but visible to members?

Thanks in advance!

BuddyPress use bbPress when you allow group forums.
If the group is private, the attached forum is also hidden ton non members of that group. Same for public or private groups.

You don’t have to change the group forum setting in the forum list.
The right steps
Create a group A
A is set to private
Allow a forum for A
—— The wrong step ——–
Going to dashboard forum admin, and set forum A to private. If you do this nobody will see it except site admin.
