 * i have read the instructions and tried to publish a private forum
 * my problem is that I have a profile created, called “student”, different from
   those that come by default [subscriber, admin, editor, customer, etc.], and wpforo
   does not give me the option to make that role access the forum exclusively
 * what can i do to link the custom user role to a specific forum?
 * thank you so much
