Sorry, I will also clarify that I’m going to use your method of hiding the form in some cases, too. I just want to make sure certain user types are not creating new topics in this certain forum (i.e. by manually typing in the URL to do so).
Thanks for the reply here, and sorry for my late one.
I’ve been working on this, and I think it will fit my needs better to prevent certain user types from being able to create new topics in this particular forum. Is that something that’s easier to do?
I have BuddyPress installed, and right now I have Group Types defined. So maybe all users in a certain BuddyPress Group cannot create new topics for this particular forum.
I could create Member Types in BuddyPress if that’s better to use.
Ideally, I would like to dynamically hide this New Topic form, based on my needs. Since that is the more difficult path, can you just give me a high-level idea of where to start? I have built a local unpublished plugin before, so I can go down that route if I need to.
And the for the easier option, how would I just hide it every time for now?
Thanks!
