Repro Steps:

- Create a Hidden or Private forum as the child forum of the above category
- Edit the forum category created above and add a forum desription
Exception: If there is a child forum of the parent and it is 'Public' all forums including any 'Private' or 'Hidden' forums will be shown and is what would be expected behaviour of bbPress

Quite sure it is the parent description as that is the only item that is updated that triggers the issue.
If the 'category' forum is created in the first place including a description the issue is non existent:
eg.
- Create a Hidden or Private forum category WITH a description
- Create a Hidden or Private forum as the child forum of the above category
Result: Standard expected behavior and all forums, sub forums and descriptions are visible.

- Status changed from closed to reopened
Reopening with updated use case reported here on bbpress.org forums by @Monica4567:
The testing below was performed using /trunk/ which includes the above r4597 patch.
Sub forums are no longer shown after moving private forums to a parent private forum category.
Repro Steps: This is not reproducible with visibility hidden
or public
- Create a forum with attributes visibility =
'private'
eg.forumone
- Create a forum with attributes type =
'category'
visibility ='private'
eg.categoryone
- Edit the first forum to now be a child of the category forum.
Viewing example.com/forums
forums list displays correctly
Viewing example.com/forums/categoryone/
forum does NOT list the sub forum forumone
Workaround:
- Create a forum with attributes type =
'category'
visibility ='private'
eg.categorytwo
- Create a forum with attributes visibility =
'private'
using the above as the parent eg.forumtwo
Viewing example.com/forums
forums list displays correctly
Viewing example.com/forums/categorytwo/
forum correctly lists the sub forum forumtwo
Workaround Exceptions:
- If you used the above workaround WITHOUT adding a description to
categorytwo
then edit the forum category to now include a description the sub forumforumtwo
again will no longer be visible atexample.com/forums/categorytwo/
- Likewise if you used the above workaround WITH a description to
categorytwo
then edit the forum category to now REMOVE the description the sub forumforumtwo
again will no longer be visible atexample.com/forums/categorytwo/
- If you used this workaround to rename your old categories & forums names/slugs and created a new set of categories/forums names/slugs with the goal of moving your topics into this new structure that appears at this stage to be working as soon as you move the topics from the 'old' forums to these 'new' forums we lose sub-forum visibility again.
Is the problem the parent description, or is it the child post status?
