Hi there, i’ve read through lot of documentation and forum topics but still can’ find an answer.

I need to restrict forums and topics so that when a general participant creates a topic or leaves a comment, an admin must approve it – before it is shown. Is this possible?

Many thanks

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Moderation

you can then set up what goes into ‘pending’ for approval

Hi Robin,

Thanks for your swift reply, looks promising. Where would I find that setting? I want any topic creation and comments to require admin approval before being shown.

Many thanks

so once activated go to

dashboard>settings>forums>moderation and select All posts (lockdown) and also select who is told about this in moderation notifications

Ah brilliant, thank you. That seems to be working.

Can I prevent users from posting in groups too?
