BuddyPress.org

Hi
We recently tried bbPress along with the bbP private groups option, and it worked well; however, it affected our theme and caused some parts of our site to malfunction. As such, we’ve had to disable bbP and this other Plugin. So, we’re going to need another option, and BuddyPress seems to be really good. Can someone confirm whether it will work in allowing us to create private group (to which we would assign users) and then assign specific groups to specific forums?

Or will we need another plugin? If so, any recommendations?

Many thanks in advance.
