XF 2.2 How can I remove new posts and whats-new for guests?

How do I remove the "new posts" button and whats-new for guests? I would like them to register and login to have these options.
I know I can take them away in the Public Navigation, but I do want them present for my users.

If you would rather use CSS, you can add this to the extra.less template to hide it:

Less: 
[data-template="forum_list"][data-logged-in="false"]
{
    .p-title-pageAction .button--icon--bolt
    {
        display: none;
    }
   
}

Thank you, but how do I add this, with a pipe it does not work.

The new posts display condition already contains this by default:
{$xf.options.forumsDefaultPage} != 'new_posts'

Do I just pot your statement behind it with a space, or komma with space or something else?

Thank you. I didn't change anything before. Only the whats-new was empty, but the new posts had the line I stated.

If I do it like you stated, it says "Display condition: Line 1: syntax error.

Thank you. That line is accepted, but unfortunately has no effect. It does not remove the new posts button from guests.
Odd... it worked for the whats-new section though.

I also tried to put it in both new posts sections, the one which I do under forums and also the one under the whats-new, but that also had no effect.

This is what I'm using to hide a widget if A) a user hasnt disabled it with a custom field B) a user is not a guest

Code: 
!$xf.visitor.Profile.custom_fields.online_today_disable && $xf.visitor.user_id

In your case I think it should be:

Code: 
{$xf.options.forumsDefaultPage} != 'new_posts' && !$xf.visitor.user_id

YOU {$xf.options.forumsDefaultPage} != 'new_posts' && !$xf.visitor.user_id
or
ME {$xf.options.forumsDefaultPage} != 'new_posts' and $xf.visitor.user_id
it's same code i think :)

I think OP wants to hide it for guests, so $xf.visitor.user_id needs a !
EDIT: or does using "and" continue the != part? I've only used && so I wouldnt know

Sorry, but if absolutely necessary, I rather don't remove original things. If possible ofcouse.

If possible even disable it for guests so they can't visit it when they would know the hidden link.

I tried this now, but it does not hide the new posts button.
{$xf.options.forumsDefaultPage} != 'new_posts' && !$xf.visitor.user_id
also tried without the ! but same result.

But it's strange because {$xf.options.forumsDefaultPage} != 'new_posts' and $xf.visitor.user_id in my case works fine.
with this condition the New Posts links is not displayed... :unsure:
