The plugin is perfect for those situations that you may want your users to see the list of topics of a forum but don’t want them to create new topics. #### bbPress 2.x Plugin fully compatible with bbPress 2.x #### Languages bbPress Protected Forums is currently in: * English * Spanish The plugin comes with .po files. Feel free to translate it to your language! #### Official site For more information about this plugin you can check the [official site](http://jordiplana.com/bbpress-protected-forums-plugin). ## Screenshots * [[ * Metabox with options available while editing a forum in the dashboard. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin to your plugins directory. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Enjoy! ## FAQ I have activated the plugin and enabled topic protection for a forum but the ‘ New topic form’ keeps showing. Why? Check your theme for **bbp_theme_before_topic_form** and **bbp_theme_after_topic_form** actions. The plugin hooks this actions in order to capture the output and hide it. Where can I find plugin support?
