Hi, after I activated Quote, everyone including non-logged in user can see the quote link at the header. Can we set that only logged in user can see the link?

@robin-w – I just played around with various settings for quotes and can confirm that the “Quote” link does get displayed even to logged-out users.

If the site has allows guest posting of topics/replies, then it actually works as intended, and SHOULD be displayed by default.

If the site does NOT allow guest posting of topics/replies, then it acts like a dead link that does nothing.

I think the best option is either:

1.) We make the “Quote” link disabled/hidden by default for guests (unless guest replies are allowed on the site).

or

2.) We make it act as “register” / “login” link to funnel users to the login/registration form (probably preferred by MOST site owners) and add a new option to hide it completely for guest users (like @enkoes is requesting). That’s assuming guests topics/replies are NOT allowed on the site. If they ARE allowed on the site, then it should function as it currently does:

Option #1 is the easiest, doesn’t require any new options, and would probably be fine.

Option #2 is a bit more complex, and may even be a little confusing to site owners. May be more work and complicated code than its’ worth, and probably unnecessary.

Appreciated your explanation on this matter.

My site does NOT allow guest posting of topics/replies. Yes. I would prefer option 1, i.e., to simply HIDE the quote link for guest user. Please guide me how may I do this.

Regards

@enkoes – you won’t be able to right now. Either myself or @robin-w will make the necessary code adjustments and release a new version to take care of this for you. We just need to decide on option #1, or option #2, and then make the code changes for it. I think option #1 is fine (will act like the existing “Reply” link), but I would like Robin ‘s input as well before I spend any time on code for this.

Expect a new release that fixes this within the week, possibly sooner. Thank you for the request! It’s a good one!

I should be able to knock that out tomorrow and release it either Thursday or Friday as version 5.5.7.

No actions needed on your part 😉

@enkoes – version 5.5.7 just released with this update.

“Quote” link visibility for guest users will follow whatever you have set in the bbPress settings page (wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress) for “Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies”.

Marking as resolved, but feel free to post here if you have any issues.
