I am trying to set up my forum to allow guests to post, pending moderator approval. However, these posts are visible to guests before they are approved by a moderator. Registered users do not see the post, however.
How can I allow guests to post without anyone seeing the post before it is approved?
Thanks
Hiย charlesghc,
Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Usergroups, edit the current Usergroup and uncheck/disable "Can pass moderation" permission.ย
More information about wpForoย spam control you canย find here:
https://wpforo.com/community/wpforo-announcements/wpforo-1-2-0-is-released/
That option has already been disabled. When a guest posts, everyone but registered users can see it. I want to make it so that nobody can see it before moderation.
Hi @charlesghc,
Guest A cannot see Guest B unapproved posts. Only the ownerย Guest B and admins can see that topic posts. There is only one case that Guest A can see the title of Guest B unapproved topic, but when Guest A clicks on that topic it's redirects to login page, so the content is not available for other Guest A and other guests until it's not approved.
So the only issue is related to the title listed under Forums as recent topic list in Extended Layout.
And this is a cache issue. If you click on [Delete all caches] in Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin pageย this unapporved topic title will be hidden for Guest A and other guests and users.
Solution
As a solution I recommend temporary disable the "Object Cache" in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features Tab. We'll fix this issue in future releases.
I have a problem in that guests (people who are reading the forum, but ย not logged in and have read-only access) are no longer able see topic page numbers or able to see posts made on a previous page of a topic. Can this be changed so they can read earlier pages of a topic? ย They say it is a problem that recently started about a month ago. ย I don't know how to fix it.ย
