Hi, is there any way to remove "Hiding questions" button from users who ask questions, so that only Admin could hide users' questions. Cause now almost all users hide them, so that I have to go to Admin panel and press button "show" all the time. 

I tried to do that in qa-include/qa-page-question-view.php and remove the lines responsible for that hiding, but it didn't help, - it removed that button from Admin also. So, I don't know.

Thank you very much.

  1. Add plugin
  2. Add layer

Layer example:

class qa_html_theme_layer extends qa_html_theme_base {
  function q_view_buttons($q_view) {
    if($q_view['raw']['userid'] == qa_get_logged_in_userid()) {
      if (!empty($q_view['form'])) {
        if(isset($q_view['form']['buttons']['hide']))
          unset($q_view['form']['buttons']['hide']);
      }
    }
  qa_html_theme_base::q_view_buttons($q_view);
  }
}

It will be early to copy mouseover-layer equipped by default in Q2A.

Thank you very much!!! You really helped me.
I just inserted that php code into qa-mouseover-layer.php without deleting the original code. So, even not Switching on that  Mouseover Layer Plagin, button "hide" successfully disappeared)).
Appreciate your help.
