Hello!
Is it possible to have one forum with a few categories and threads and several groups that access it seeing only what their groups publish?
Kind regards,
Xoán
I mean, I'm a user from group 1 and I only see posts that group 1 users have written.
I think I need to create as many forums as groups are and duplicate everything. Am I right?
@xog,
Let me introduce an example:
We have 3 Usergroups UG 1, UG2, UG3 and 3 Forums F1, F2, F3. For example, each Usergroup should have standard access to one forum and no accesses to others. All users with UG1 Usergroup should be able to view/discuss in F1 forum, all users with UG2 should be able to view/discuss in F2 forum and so on… To do this you should edit those forums one by one, find the “Forum Permission” settings and set the following combinations of Usergroups and Forum Accesses:
- As you know, all regular users already have a Primary Usergroup “Registered”. For this Usergroup set No Access for F1, F2, and F3 to only allow wpForo work based on Secondary Usergroup accesses.
- Set Standard Access for UG1 in F1 forum settings and set No Access for other Usergroups
- Set Standard Access for UG2 in F2 forum settings and set No Access for other Usergroups
- Set Standard Access for UG3 in F3 forum settings and set No Access for other Usergroups
