    @drillbell

    I want to close Create New Topic in “Forum”
    so that visitors not open new topics but only I want to open new topics.
    What to do?

    You have to create a new role and it has to have these set capabablites

    'publish_topics' => false,

    and

    'publish_replies' => true,

    While what I listed is oversimplified, you may need to adjust extra capabilities to your liking. To learn how to create a new user role with its own custom capabilities read this guide.

    Custom Capabilities

    You then set the default role in the forum settings in Settings > Forums in the WordPress backend.

    To change existing users you have to change their forum role in Users > All Users in the WordPress backend.

    Hi drillbell,

    I am happy to announce that you can now close forums in v1.0.3 of bbP Toolkit (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/)

    Pascal.
