    Hi.
    It’s possibile to let the posts created by users be in a “pending” status?

    I would like that the posts aren’t accepted immediately but a moderator need to approve them in order to let them appear in forum.

    I know that is not a core feature but I found a lot of discussions about this on google and on this forum but I didn’t found any usefull answer, only old old ones and name of plugins that are not supported anymore.

    So I’m still confused without an answer.

    My BBPress version is 2.6.4

    Thank you

    I saw this but the last update it’s from 2 year ago.
    I’m a little hesitant to install a plugin that’s been abandoned for so long.

    hmm.. that’s a choice you make.

    this plugin hooks to parts of bbpress that are very stable.

    your choices are

    1. try and find another bbpress moderation plugin – none I know of

    2. Pay someone to write a plugin, and them pay annual maintenance to ensure it keeps up to date, and that will need to be a company as if you pay a person they might die/retire. And of course a company that will not go bankrupt.

    3. use this plugin, accepting that at some stage in the future it may stop working, in which case you are where you are now

    4. do nothing.

    as far as I can see that is the choice.

    sorry, I would love to say that all plugins will work forever, but that is not the way that free software works.

    First of all, thanks for answering me.
    As you said, the alternatives are few. Now I try to figure out if it is worse not to have the functionality or to risk not having it later if the plugin stops working.

    Thank you again

    Have a nice day

    Whilst never say never, I would be extremely surprised if it stopped working.

    Think of it more like a light switch than a light bulb 🙂
