Hello everyone! I'm just starting out with bbpress.
I want to build a forum that will only show the topics to guest and then if they are a member, they can click on each one to read more.
Is there a plugin that will do this?
If not, is there a file that need to be changed?
Thanks!
This question is probably best for bbpress.org
- I am pretty sure it's been asked and answered before.
I did a search before posting and it mostly involves making it private, visibility or restrictions. Maybe I'm searching using the wrong words. Is there a term for what I'm looking for? Thanks.
Basically the easiest way to do this is to edit the the topic.php template and check to see if the user is logged in before the loop that shows all the posts.
if they are not logged in, hop over the loop and output a message they must log in.
This could also be done somewhat by a plugin.
This is just a quick and dirty example that might not work as is:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Only logged in can read topics
*/
add_action('bb_head','logged_in_topics');
function logged_in_topics() {
if (!is_topic()) {return;}
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in()) {
echo "Sorry, you must register or login to read topics.";
exit;
}
