Add option to disable new topic via email

[foliovision]

Hi r-a-y,

I had problem with "creating new group forum topics from your email inbox".

What have I done: Created new group as hidden, changed in its settings to public, join group with another user account and tried to submit new topic by mail. I got this message in errorlog: [07-Nov-2013 13:58:39] Message #1: this is a bbPress group forum new topic [07-Nov-2013 13:58:39] Message #1: error - bbPress new topic failed. forum is hidden. user doesn't have access.

I want to remove this feature from plugin because it's not reliable so I had to comment add_action with new_topic_via_email_block function.

1. Could you add option in administration for select features of plugin which will be allowed?
2. Take a look why the function doesn't allow me post new topic however I'm member of the group. (This is something what I don't need but you may like to check it out)

Thanks, Richard

Hi Richard,

These are actually two things you are listing.

First one about the bbPress topic not posting appears to be a bbPress bug. I can't verify at the moment without doing some testing, but I appreciate the steps to duplicate.

Can you check if your bbPress forum is indeed hidden or public? Login to the WP admin dashboard and go to the "Forums" page, see if the forum you toggled is hidden or public. If it is still hidden, then it is a bbPress bug.

Second one about disabling the new forum topic block via admin option sounds like a decent request. I'll add it when I have some time.

Can you also list the versions of bbPress, BuddyPress and RBE that you're using?

Hi r-a-y,

I've deleted this category and site is now live so i don't like to do test on it.

Versions which I use: BuddyPress 1.8.1 bbPress 2.4 RBE 1.0-RC2

Thank you, Richard
