I have created a forum website using the bbPress plugin. However, I’m facing an issue with user access levels. Currently, any user can publish a post directly on the forum without moderation.

What I want is for users to be able to visit the forum and share their views, but their posts should first go into a “Pending Review” status. Only an admin should have the ability to review and publish these posts.

Please help me configure bbPress to enable post moderation before publication.

Hi @robin-w,

Thank you for taking the time to look into my issue. As per your suggestion, I installed the bbp Style Pack plugin. However, the moderation feature doesn’t seem to be working as expected. Unlike the WordPress contributor role, unapproved users are still able to publish posts directly without moderation.

Could you please check and guide me further on how to ensure posts go into moderation before being published?

Thanks again!

dashboard>settings>forums>moderation Options>hold for moderation ?
