Need to block user role from accessing bbPress all together

Question

I've been looking at some options and I haven't seen a full solution to what I need. I need to block certain user_roles from accessing bbPress all together and from seeing the link to the page.

Any pointers?

Answer 1

Check this plugin. I've used it and it's quite versatile regarding user roles and user capabilities.

You can also add conditional statements in your php files, like this:

if (!current_user_can('some_capability_you_added')) {
   echo "You don't have permission for it!";
   return;
}

You can output that sentence or nothing at all.
