eMember – block all forum replies

[hin1219]

Hi, Right now I am using emember and I’m able to block forum replies – if I do it manually.

Here for example, I’ve blocked the replies and you can see it’s working: [http://lab.searchhighway.ca/forums/topic/googles-201st-factor-on-inner-pages/]

However, I created a test user (ajay002) and posted a reply and it was not blocked. Is there a way to automatically block all forum replies unless someone is logged in?

Right now I have to do this manually.

Thanks,

Are you using BBPress forum plugin? If you are then which of the 3 options (see reference below) are you using?

Hi,

We are using the bbpress plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/) – I’m assuming that’s the one you’re referring to.

We are not using any of the 3 options – instead we are just trying to block the replies within a topic (people can see the topic but not the replies).

We’ve successfully done this so far by manually selecting the replies [http://screencast.com/t/7UgLfrR2g8], however we’d like this to be automatic.

Hope that makes more sense,

Thanks,

So, what you are trying to do with bbPress is…

1. Apply membership protection at the topic reply level?
2. Require a particular membership level, in order to read past the first message in a given topic?

 

Does the first message have to be in the form of a forum post? In other words, can the first post be in the form of a regular WordPress posting, and then you would use the “bbPress Topics for Posts” plugin; for the post replies?

Hi wzp,

What you described is correct. It would be ideal to keep it in the form of a forum post because we would like to use this to create a community

Thanks for the suggestion however,

Hint: You might be able to modify the …/bbpress/includes/replies/template.php file with some kind of eMember integration. Perhaps in the bbp_has_replies() function.

The functions from this page maybe helpful for accomplishing this:
