I don't understand what the problem is here. Details? Expectations?

topic text disappears.

Expectation:

After the topic was marked private, to show topic text (description) for admins and author (user who created the topic)

[alexvorn2]

for admin the same topic: ​http://wpimpact.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/private-not-private.png

(In [4564]) Add support for private post statuses in topics and replies loops. Fixes #2088.

still an issue...

For admin (keymaster) the text shows but for author of the topic - no!
author of the topic is user2 - subscriber (participant).

In other words a participant should view his private topic.

For example for posts, a private is visible only to author of the post and admins + editors.
A subscriber, contributor or anonymous user can't view the private post, getting a 404 page error.

How are regular non-moderator non-keymaster users creating private topics on your site? This is not normally allowed in bbPress core.

[alexvorn2]

You are right!

But, for example:

User2 created the topic (he is participant (subscriber)).

Administrator (key master) after the user2 created the topic - marked the topic 'Private'.

And after that the User2 can't view his own topic that he created. But he should view because he created it.

Solution:

Allow Participant to view his own private topic even if he can't mark it private.

That makes sense I suppose, though it will require some extra sorting out.

If this gets added, then I think private replies should get added too. Perhaps following along with the idea behind the [Private Replies extension](​http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-private-replies/)?

[johnjamesjacoby]

(In [4673]) Rejig the post_status logic in bbp_has_topics() and bbp_has_replies() to use the 'perm' query variable when appropriate. This allows unfamiliar topic and reply statuses to work as intended. Also allows post authors to view their own private content. Fixes #2088.
