The original KeyMaster created on install has suddenly lost the ability to create new forums. The following error message is displayed.
“You don’t have permission to do that.”
I created a new user and bumped it up to Keymaster and it does have the ability to create new forums.
With some guidance from _ck_ I went into phpmyadmin and compared the bb_capabilities between the two users. There was a slight difference (which I stupidly didn’t record), so I copied the capabilities from the new keymaster and pasted them in place of the old keymasters capabilities.
Unfortunately this did not resolve the problem. Both keymasters have identical usermeta now, and its still not working.
I have bbpress integrated with WordPress, so the user data is shared between the two systems.
Any ideas?
