here's my forum: https://www.jeannemayell.com/community/
The month I launched, my website traffic increased fourfold. I am not very tech savvy, and have found wpforo to be user friendly and this support to be excellent.
But now I need to open a separate category for users who come to my classes that no other users can post in, but that all users can read. I don't know how keep it separate from the rest of the forum so only my students can post there. I suppose it has to be a totally separate forum? If so, how to do that?
Nice website and forum, looks like a busy forum 🙂Β
Hi @jeanne,
But now I need to open a separate category for users who come to my classes that no other users can post in, but that all users can read. I don't know how keep it separate from the rest of the forum so only my students can post there. I suppose it has to be a totally separate forum? If so, how to do that?
wpForo forums have permission settings in the Edit Forum screen. Edit the forum and use these settings to controlΒ UsergroupΒ accesses and privileges in that forum. EachΒ UsergroupΒ has someΒ Forum AccessΒ set in each forum. For example, TheΒ Registered UsergroupΒ (Β Subscriber User Role) hasΒ Standard Forum AccessΒ by default in all forums.
For example, if you don't want users withΒ Registered UsergroupΒ to open new topics in some forum, you should edit that forum and setΒ Read-Only forum accessΒ toΒ the Registered usergroupΒ that forum. Then navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard and click onΒ [Delete all caches]Β button.
Also please read this FAQ topic to get moreΒ info about wpForo Usergroups, Forum Accesses and WordPress User Roles: https://wpforo.com/community/faq/wordpress-user-roles-wpforo-usergroups-and-forum-accesses/
In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
@adisaputro. Thank you for your comment. Β It is pretty busy!Β
@alvina I've read the information on permissions and it looks like it is not possible, but please correct me if I am wrong, to create a special group of subscribers within the overall parent forum who can post in a child forum of that parent forum, while other subscribers of the parent form can only read the child forum but not post in it. Β Is that correct? Perhaps I should raise this question in a different topic.
