Hi there,
I have created three forums for three courses. But the contents are available from all forums to every site participant. How can I lock this down?

hello,
can you please provide the admin credentials by which we can check this at your end.
note: share them in private reply.

hi,
yes, this is happening because you have connected the forum with the course but the course is not connected with the forum that's why.
you can also check this:

I hope this will help you.
I'm doing a test with a user who is only enrolled in one course: The Bootcamp course
Okay - I've connected all of the forums with courses, and courses with forums.

But that user can see, click on, and contribute to a discussion from the Masterclass course. And that forum is set to private as well (I don't know if that makes a difference)
Why is this being allowed. What can I do to stop this?
I've actually enrolled the above user (that I gave you access to) - in one course:
Boot Camp
You can see on this page that you see a discussion from the Masterclass forum, and you can contribute to it as well:

For the better understanding here is the official docs of the bbpress:
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
you can contact them for better resolution as well.
this:

shows the recent topics, it does not work as per the filter option. it will show the top 5 topics from all the courses.
Yes, I see that it will show all topics.
I am simply wondering what the easiest plan would be to ensure that someone cannot view and participate in forums that they are not enrolled in.
I know that I can look on the Buddypress forum, but I was thinking that since your theme is the one that makes use of their plugin to have private forums for a course, that you would have somewhat of a solution to ensure that this restriction exists. My concern with being sent to their forum is that it is a free plugin, so I may not have an answer for my client for an indeterminate amount of time.
So I am simply looking for the best solution :)
Please simply enable " Enable Course forum privacy " from wp-admin -> lms -> settings .
