sorry can you confirm that
post = create topics
comment = create replies
If so then use my private groups plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/
and enable group topic permissions
then you can set up membership 2 to be able to create/edit topics and replies and membership 1 only to be create/edit replies
that’s as close as I can get you without specific coding to stop membership 2 being able to reply on other topics.
That is doable but beyond free help !
I understand why you might want only certain users creating topics.
But, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want those who can create topics from also being able to create replies.
This would seem more functional long term:
membership1 = create topics + create replies
membership2 = create replies only
And like Robin W indicated a simple membership/role plugin could easily set this up. However, limiting those who can create topics to be able to only reply to their own topics would require some custom coding.
I’ve done similar customization, it just takes lots of work as a number of bbPress functions/templates would be affected in both the creating and editing of topics/replies.
And keep in mind all customized functions would need to be periodically updated as security issues arise and other often connected bbPress functionality is updated, as well. This wouldn’t be a set-up once and forget it modification.
Good luck,
Chad
Thank you very much for your answers. Because of what you told me and further research, I have chosen to let everybody comment and post on everything.
Maybe one of you can answer me on this:
I need a way for people to sign up with Facebook and Google. I want people to be able to choose between two different kind of free memberships, when they sign up. I want this, because I want the plugin “rating widget” to be enabled to only one of the memberships.
What should I do?
