    Solved How can I make my whole forum (site) private?

    Post by Breezey April 20th 2013, 5:16 pm

    I'd like it to be totally private where nothing at all can be viewed unless permission is given.. like for members only.

    I'd appreciate any help I can get.
    Thank you.

    Administration Panel > General > Forum > Categories & Forums
    Uncheck all the boxes for guests in each forum's permission.

    Administration Panel > Users & Usergroups > Special Rights
    Change them to members or staff.

    Administration Panel > Modules > Portal/Widgets > Forum Widgets
    Press the permission image on each widget and uncheck the box for guests.
