The above-mentioned functions are available now. You just need to update the wpForo plugin to the latest version(v.1.7.7).

Is it possible to only show the answer chosen as the best one (if the thread is closed/solved) and hide (also partially) the other answers?

As Sofy already mentioned the wpForo doesn't have such a feature.

ok, thanks. I will wait for next release then.

I would like to use the Q&A layout. Is there any option to sort answers by votes or likes (for example, changing internal query)?

We've created two functions, that allows add, delete, and change the usergroup_secondary as you need. Please wait a bit, it will be available in the next versions update:

1) added: WPF()->member->set_usergroups_secondary($userid, $groupids);
2) added: WPF()->member->append_usergroups_secondary($userid, $groupids);

Thanks, but I'm looking for more information as developer.

I would like to implement a plugin to assign a secondary user group to a certain user if some conditions occur.

Is there any documentation about the code?

I would like to assign primary and secondary user group to a user depending on certain events or status every time he signs-in into my website (to restrict access to certain topics). Which is the correct PHP code?

I'd suggest you read this article: https://gvectors.com/using-secondary-usergroups-in-wpforo-wordpress-forum-plugin/

This fAQ topic also may be helpful for you, here Robert explained the wpForo user permission system: https://wpforo.com/community/faq/wordpress-user-roles-wpforo-usergroups-and-forum-accesses/

Is it possible to set the maximum number of nested answers to 0 for a certain sub-forum/topic?

You can set the Replies Nesting Levels Deep for the Threaded Layout. More info here: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/categories-and-forums/forum-layouts/threaded-layout/#thread-view-%E2%80%93-list-of-parent-posts-and-nested-replies

Is it possible to always sort answers automatically by "likes"/votes?

We're really sorry, but wpForo doesn't have such a feature.

Other questions:

Many thanks in advance
