There is a forum I’ve created for specific use, as a place for members to upload documents to share. I would like this forum NOT to appear in the automatically-generated forums list (I link to it directly in the main menu). I have not found any mechanism or plugin for choosing individual forums to hide from the list. Any suggestions?

Have you tried setting the forum to Private? Or Hidden?
Go to wp-admin > Forums > Forum Name > Edit > Visibility

btw – these are the BuddyPress forums.
For support for bbPress you should use their forums.

Oddly enough, yes! It still shows up. I really thought that would take care of it too.

Have you tried it while logged in as something other than site admin?
Or a role that doesn’t have bbPress ‘keymaster’ privs?

That was an awesome idea, thank you. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter. Still shows up. Sigh.
