Exclude Restricted Forums from bbPress Main Query

By default, when you restrict a bbPress forum with Paid Member Subscriptions, users will still see this forum on the `/forums` page but if they try to access it, they will be prompted with a message or redirected to another page indicating that they cannot access that content.
It is also possible to completely remove from view these forums.

If you add the custom code from below to your website, the `/forums` page will only display forums that the current user can access:

//Remove restricted forums from the main bbPress query
add_filter( 'bbp_after_has_forums_parse_args', 'pmsc_exclude_restricted_forums_from_main_query' );
function pmsc_exclude_restricted_forums_from_main_query( $vars ) {
	if( !function_exists( 'pms_is_post_restricted' )) return;
 
	$query = new WP_Query( $vars );
 
	$forum_ids = array();
 
	foreach ( $query->posts as $forum ) {
		$forum_ids[] = $forum->ID;
	}
 
	$restricted_forums = array_filter($forum_ids, 'pms_is_post_restricted');
 
	$vars['post__not_in'] = $restricted_forums;
 
	return $vars;
}
