and a more accurate posting time!
What version of bbPress are you using?
I also would love to know how to hide links in some sections of my forum for non-registered users.
I have a download section, and I’d like to keep the links only visible to registered users. Perhaps also put a message only visible to non-registered users that they need to register to see the links, when they’re viewing topics in the download section.
Any ideas?
why r u hide that
technically u have to make visibility false to hide link
I think should do it, it’s based off code here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/open-links-in-new-window
Change the values of $forums to the forum IDs of those you wish to restrict (it’ll only work on direct parent forums, not grandparents or categories, I don’t want to include walker code unless people need it).
Tested on 1.0.2 trunk, so I’m not 100% sure it’ll run on 0.9, sorry.

@Hanratty: hiding links using CSS visibility will still leave the link URLs in the code, which isn’t too desirable for some
@Shagalaga: Maybe you could use a hidden forum for guestbooks? One topic per user that’s had a comment posted, just use the existing topic functions and a modified post form on the bottom of their profile?
