Hi, I’m using the codes below to remove “Edit” link in reply header without any issue:

add_filter ('bbp_reply_admin_links', 'rew_remove_edit') ;
add_filter ('bbp_topic_admin_links', 'rew_remove_edit') ;

function rew_remove_edit ($links) {
	unset ($links['edit']) ;
return $links ;	
}

My question: If I want the codes to work only for Role A & Role B, but NOT for other roles, how would I amend the code above?

Regards.

are these wordpress roles, bbpress roles, (say membership) plugin roles, or some customs roles you have written?

[@enkoes Participant 1 year, 7 months ago]

They are all bbpress roles.

add_filter ('bbp_reply_admin_links', 'rew_remove_edit') ;
add_filter ('bbp_topic_admin_links', 'rew_remove_edit') ;

function rew_remove_edit ($links) {
$user_role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
if ($user_role == bbp_get_keymaster_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_moderator_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_participant_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_spectator_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_blocked_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
return $links ;	
}

and amend as needed

spectator and blocked not really needed as neither can post, but included for completeness !!

Hi Robin, thanks for your prompt reply.

The code does not work. Perhaps something missing?

I only take this
if ($user_role == bbp_get_moderator_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
When moderator log in, he still can see the “edit” link.

Regards.

sorry, try this

add_filter ('bbp_reply_admin_links', 'rew_remove_edit') ;
add_filter ('bbp_topic_admin_links', 'rew_remove_edit') ;

function rew_remove_edit ($links) {
$user_id = bbp_get_current_user_id() ;
$user_role = bbp_get_user_role( $user_id );
if ($user_role == bbp_get_keymaster_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_moderator_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_participant_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_spectator_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_blocked_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
return $links ;	
}

Yes. It works beautifully! 🙂

I just found out something when I thought the issue is solved. The code works well with native bbpress role, but not work with new role created. I have a new role “prime_moderator” created using your plugin, but the code return error when I apply this new role to the codes. Any suggestions?

Regards.

ok, so what is the role on this line

$bbp_roles['bbp_tutor'] = array(

and what is the code you have added in the code above?

[@enkoes Participant 1 year, 7 months ago]

There it is:
$bbp_roles['bbp_prime_moderator'] = array(

I’ve tried the two options below but both return errors:
if ($user_role == bbp_get_bbp_prime_moderator_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;
if ($user_role == bbp_get_prime_moderator_role()) unset ($links['edit']) ;

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 7 months ago]

if ($user_role == 'bbp_prime_moderator') unset ($links['edit']) ;

for custom roles, you just name the role itself.,

[@enkoes Participant 1 year, 7 months ago]

Yes, Robin. The codes run without any error. Appreciated your effort in helping me to solve the issue.

[@robin-w Moderator 1 year, 7 months ago]

no problem
