Hi all, is it possible to disable participants in creating topics?
hoping for a response thank you,

Bruce.

yes you can create new roles with custom capabilities

Hi,
If it can help, my ‘bbP Toolkit’ plugin can lock down (protect) forums based on roles. So you could e.g. leave it up to admins and moderators to create topics, but let all others reply.

@casiepa – I hadn’t spotted that in your plugin – seems exactly what is needed.

Thanks for your response @casiepa and @robin-w, i’ll try both your suggestions. 🙂

Hi,
The plugin works fine, but on standard bbPress forums. Do use buddypress groups ?

Yes Pascal I use Buddypress groups.

Hi Bruce, then unfortunately it might not work. It works for sure on standard bbPress forums.
