I installed bbpress and it’s working fine. My boss wants users using the site to create topics without ever having to create a forum. Is that Possible? Also on the front end, When a user is creating a new topic can I hide or disable “Topic Type:”, “Topic Status:” and “Notify me of follow-up replies via email”? Even the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” option isn’t working. What can I do the fix that?

N.B All of this must be possible on the front end. The back end is fine.

So you do not want to create a forum for your topics? The users who are default to the Participant role shouldn’t be able to create forums. I don’t see why your boss doesn’t to create a forum at all, it organizes everything better.

Topic type and Topic status should only be visible to Keymasters and Moderators.

Do want to allow topics/forum subscriptions, or do you just want to hide the checkbox saying notify me of follow up replies and only allow the links for the users to click on?
