Hi

I am new to BB-Press

I would like to know the exact funciton of the forum attributes.

Type – Forum or category (how do these two differ?)

Status – open + close ( closed forum means that no one can submit any furture posts yet the forum is still visible right??

Visibility – public / private / hidden – public i understand yet private and hidden how do they function.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have a read of the doc’s (work in progress)

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

Read that already not much explanation given

[Stephen Edgar]

A ‘Forum’ will contain topics, whereas a ‘Category’ contains forums.

You might have a category ‘Open Source Software’ and then have forums ‘WordPress’ and ‘bbPress’ in that category.

Status – Yes, a ‘closed’ topic is still visable just no more replies can be posted to that topic.

Visibilty:

Public – Anyone can see these forums

Private: Only logged in registered users can see these forums

Hidden: Only Moderators/Admins can see these forums

And also https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

I’ve added this info to the codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#creating-your-first-forum

Does that make it any clearer ken?

[ken481]
