Hi,

I’m using the setting “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies”, but I only want guests allow to reply only.
Is it possible to hide or remove the create new topic form at the bottom from guest users?

Thanks.

yes if you know how to FTP a file and have a child theme – come back if you do

Hi,

I know how to FTP a file and I using a child theme in my wordpress.
Could you teach me how to remove it?

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

change line 31 from

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() ) : ?>

to

<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Hi,

This is my testing site
sandboxtest1.server4.demoswp.com/forums/forum/testing/

Thanks

[Robin W]

When I go to your site, if I select the testing forum as a non logged in user, I cannot see the topic form, but I can reply to an existing topic.

I thought that was what you wanted?

I’m sorry, it was a cache problem. It’ working now, Thanks 🙂

Can I ask one more question please?

Is it possible to remove the login form as well?

I am sorry for any inconvenience.
