Hello everyone,

After searching about a hour I gave up and decided to create a topic.
I hope that there’s a plugin somewhere in the corners of bbpress which suits the idea i have.

I managed to block the creation of topics using the ‘bbPress Protected Forums’ plugin, however I can not find any plugins to block replies/comments on these topics.

I would like to add this since I will be adding a ‘Read this first before you post!’ with the rules in it at every single subforum and I dont want any replies on those.

Could anyone help me out with this?

OS: CentOS 7
Wordpress version: 4.0
bbpress version: 2.5.4
bbPress Protected Forums version: 1.0

If it’s just a ‘Read this before you post’, then just create the topic, and then in

dashboard>topics>all topics and edit the topic you want, then under topic attributes on the right hand side, change from open to closed.

If you make this a ‘super sticky ‘ under types in the same box, you only need create this topic once, and it will appear at the start of every forum.

I tried this but if I do this the topic wont show any content.

The topic also appears with gray font instead of black

I found a topic on this issue, however I Didnt managed to fix it ( Im using Magicraft theme by the way )

I found the bbpress.css and added:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .status-closed a {
color: #ccc;
}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-topics ul.sticky,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-body .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky {
background-color: #ffffe0 !important;
}

Anyway, even if the gray out issue was fixed, I still can’t see any content of the closed topic.

I think you found a topic on an issue – since it didn’t fix it, suggest it is not relevant.

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

I disabled all plugins except bbpress & bbPress and set the theme to twentytwelve
The error was still there tho.

I found the way to fix the gray out issue for most people. However this didnt worked for me.

In this folder: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css
Open up bbpress.css and find #bbpress-forums .status-closed,

I changed color: #ccc; to #000;

This should have fixed the gray out issue. However it did not worked =/

This is a paste of the bbpress.css file: I changed line 59

I managed to work it out!

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
background-color: #transparent;
color: #000;
}

It was just a matter of messing around with the things provided!

The issue not readable was a hidden option issue, I deleted the topic and made a new one. It shows just perfectly now 😀

great – glad you’re fixed !
