I’ve got an issue with getting plenty of page views, but not a lot of posts on my forum forum.cleanenergyreviews.info. I’ve done a bit of user testing, and seems that there is some confusion about how to actually post something when they first arrive at the site. Is there a way to show the “New Topic” button when users are logged out, which would direct them to log in? I know I can do that with a URL, and I have done that now in the Nav, but curious as to why you do no show the “New Topic” button for logged out users also? I’m assuming there’s a good reason.

We already have a Reply button visible to not logged in users and even a Like triggers the display of the pop up to subscribe to the site.
We have also a reminder that will appear to every returning user via the site setting enable signup cta
That said, you will find several topics about it that explain why we do not show the button to non-registered users and also several ways (as you have already discovered) to get around the obstacle.

@dax I’m sorry that I’m not clear about the last part of your reply. Are you suggesting there is a way to display the " + New Topic " button for viewers who are not logged in? If so, how?
I’m in the same boat as @MartyMeh. I want viewers to instantly see the " + New Topic " button and be able to click it, and have them redirected to the login page, and function exactly as the " Reply " button does. Is it possible?
Hi @jord8on, it seems not. I worked around by creating a link in the header. In my case I called it “Ask a question”.
The easiest way is to create a new button on the header, next to the icon or the logo. See
You can use a simple link as https://yoursite.com/new-topic? so that user logged in can open a new topic from every page of your site, users who are not logged in who click on the button will be sent back to the login page and after the login back again to the composer.

Ho apprezzato molto questo suggerimento, @dax – ho optato per Custom header links (icons) per risolvere questo problema (anche se attualmente utilizziamo anche Custom Header Links per la navigazione globale).
Quando sei connesso, si apre un pannello di modifica che rimanda alla nostra categoria predefinita (categoria non categorizzata personalizzata).
Vista disconnesso, cliccando sulle mani alzate si viene reindirizzati al login e l’aspetto è questo:
Quando un utente connesso o disconnesso ci passa sopra il mouse:
La giuria è ancora fuori sul fatto che il glifo della mano alzata sia stata una buona scelta, lasceremo che la mappatura del calore ce lo dica. Finora non viene cliccato molto, ma i clic sulla ricerca sono aumentati.
Grazie, ancora.
