Hi there,

I’m trying to find a solution to the problem of participants being able to remove single topic tags by simply removing them from the “Tags” input field on the reply-to form.

I’ve found this thread that clearly explains the issue

Topic tags deleted by other participants

and offers a solution that is unfortunately not working on my end.

My form-reply.php currently has this line:
<?php if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags', bbp_get_topic_id() )) : ?>
which I tried to replace with:
<?php if ( bbp_allow_topic_tags() && current_user_can( 'assign_topic_tags', bbp_get_topic_id() ) && current_user_can('moderate') ) : ?>
to no avail.

Has anyone solved this issue? Would love some guidance here! 🙂

*confirmed to delete the original post tags and replace with the single reply tag. this is the behaviour i’m trying to fix for the site i’m working on! 🙂
