Closed Forum still allows users to reply
Quote from grace on January 19, 2026, 12:15 pmI have 3 forums. I have one for Forum Guidelines and don’t want anyone to reply. I have closed the forum in Structure, but users are able to reply to topics in the forum. I realise they can’t add new topics, but can I stop people from replying to a closed forum? Can I make the topic closed?
Update- I finally found the close button for a topic (right next to the Reply button). Now, non-admins (basic users) can’t reply to the topic.
I find the plugin to be very good and now that I have figured this small detail out, even better 🙂 Hopefully, this info helps someone else.
