## Description

Retricts bbPress to logged in/registered members.

All users who try to view any bbPress page and are not logged in will be redirected
to the site homepage or optionally a URL provided in the settings.

This plugin also disables all bbPress shortcodes for non-members except the login,
register, and reset password shortcodes.

**Note:** This plugin does not work when bbPress is used in conjunction BuddyPress.

## Installation

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory
of your WordPress installation and then activate the plugin from Plugins page.

Or install from the dashboard like all the cool kids do.

Then go to Settings > Forums > Members Only to optionally set your redirect URL.
