Hi,

For the read only access for example for guests users, the "ask a question" button is still available. How to hide the ask a question button for the guests / read only access?

Below is the screenshot of the access set up for the guests/read access only

Thanks

Hi @ailaine,

Make sure that you have set "Read Only Access" in Forum Permissions field for the Category and the Forum.

@ailaine 

add this to custom css

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-3 .wpforo-cat-panel .wpf-button {
display: none;
}
.logged-in #wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-3 .wpforo-cat-panel .wpf-button {
display: block;
}

Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles > Custom CSS

Hi,

thanks for the css code, but I need to apply it by role as I need some roles to have access to it and some no.

Regards

@ailaine,

wpForo doesn't have option to disable that button.
