Allow Read and Limit Write Access in BBpress?

Hi there,

I am getting started with the free version of S2Member and would like to know if it’s possible to set up the Restriction Options to allow everyone to read posts in a certain forum in BBpress but allow only a set user level to make posts in the forum?

I see that I can set up limitations on who can read a forum using the URI settings but I need everyone to be able to read it while only certain people can make posts.

Is this possible with either the free or paid version?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hello Ben,

I’m afraid this is outside of what s2Member can handle. You can tell what users can read posts/pages and forum software (like bbPress, BuddyPress).

If you want to protect forum software inside of your WordPress website then you can use uri restrictions to block the read access, which you can find under Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› URI Access Restrictions.

However to control the write access you’re gonna need to modify s2Member to allow certain roles to do that.

Thanks very much Eduan, that’s a shame but it’s still great software.

Glad I was of help. :)
