 * I do not want users to be able to create a new topic, and to avoid confusion,
   would like to remove the “New Topic” button. Is this possible?

 * Hi,
 * Yes, you can remove the New Topic button using the `ctdb_new_topic_button_filter`
   filter. For that specific filter, you would need to just return an empty string.
 * The solution would look something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       add_filter( 'ctdb_new_topic_button_filter', function() {
           return '';
       } );
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps 🙂
    Matt
