Restricting Access to Topics

Topics can be individually restricted as well if the parent forum is not restricted. The “Topic Restriction Mode” works for topics as follows:

Custom Restriction Messages for Forums and Topics

If you wish to use a different default restriction message for your forums and topics you can customize them from Paid Member Subscriptions -> Settings -> Content Restriction.

These restriction messages are helpful if you want to have a different marketing copy for forums and topics, leaving the other restricted content with the marketing copy you already have in place.
