To disable the /forums and /topics archive pages using PHP, add this to your theme’s functions.php:
php
`function disable_forum_and_topic_archives() {
if (is_post_type_archive(‘forum’) || is_post_type_archive(‘topic’)) {
wp_redirect(home_url(), 301);
exit;
}
}
add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘disable_forum_and_topic_archives’);
This will redirect users to the home page, effectively disabling those archive pages.
