I’m trying to get this:

– Simple users should always reply to the main (first) post and not to other replies

– Users having a certain role should be able to reply (in a threaded manner) to any reply

I tried editing includes/replies/template.php to have a different URL on the “Reply” link for different users (in one case a simple #new-post, in the other something like bbp_reply_to=165611&_wpnonce=d508dbc6fa#new-post)

… But it seems more complex than that, since I’m still having threaded replies in both cases.

Thank you if you can share some suggestions.

Solved on my own, by hiding completely the “Reply” links to other replies for simple users:

In case somebody else needs it:

if ( in_array( ‘admin’, (array) $user->roles ) {
$retval = $r[‘link_before’] . ‘‘ . $r[‘reply_text’] . ‘‘ . $r[‘link_after’];
}
