Posting permissions

    I have a question about permissions. I have a forum, general, that I do not want people to post to. But I do have two topics in the forum that I DO want people to post to. Basically I do not want them posting in the root of the forum just to the topics it contains.

    So I set the permissions for the forum where nobody has permission to post there and by doing that they cannot post to the topics even though I selected discussion in the page settings.

    Is there an easy way to accomplish this that I am just missing?

    Thanks!

    Jim

    Sorry, no simple solution to this – would require custom coding!

    Well there is a flaw in the software. Maybe I will attempt that one myself. It has been a long time since I did any PHP but it may be a good project to attempt.

    I honestly cannot believe that this hasn’t come up sooner….

    if you want to attempt it yourself, then download my private groups plugin
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

    and crack open includes/functions.php

    you’ll find a filter around line 14 to check permissions on topics and replies and the function it calls further down.

    You probably want to create a version of that for yourself.

    Have fun !

    Thanks! I will look into this and see what I can come up with. 🙂
