I want to hide some channels from all groups of members
But still appear to the administrator
They were working on vb4 before upgrading to 5.4.0

How to hide channels from the administrator ?

[Mark.B]

It works much the same as it did in vB4.


Though, your post is a little confusing. Are you trying to create channels that ONLY admins can see, or that admins CANNOT see?

Hi Mark
I have a channel I do not need now,
I do not want to delete it
I just want to hide it from everyone even the admin.
Excuse me for the lack of quality English

Go to Channel Managemet > Channel Permissions, find the channel, and deny access for every usergroup.

Make sure it doesn't have any sub-channels beneath it, or you will block those also.

I did it but still show the admin

Admin will always be allowed to see it, you can only hide it from super mods or regular moderators but not Administrators

If you go into Channel Permissions and put a display order of "0" for a channel it will only show in the AdminCP.

If you're trying to remove a channel from the admincp you will have to actually delete the channel.

Are we talking about displaying it in the forum front end, or in the admincp? As you can't hide it in the admincp.

I want to hide from the home page, not from admincp

Set the Display Order to 0 then
