Hmm yes database editing may be too hard to me since I don’t have experience. After researching I did get close to what you are suggesting in MySQL but I think it may be a bit over my head.
That said, I’m thinking it may be easiest if I completely deleted the plugin files from my server. Then I could re-install bbpress. I’d need to know what backed up files I need to add back to the plugin once it’s re-installed in order to get all of my threads, posts, and users back.
Do you know what files that would be or how I could do that? Sorry this seems to be the never-ending support ticket!
Thanks I appreciate your help. Don’t worry I consistently backup my site through FileZilla. This seems to be a simple fix.
Yes, as stated the Keymaster role is not there. Nobody has it and there is absolutely no way to assign it through the dashboard. I assure you it absolutely is not there! Could I please get some info on how to edit my server file? Hoping to get this resolved over the weekend. Thanks!
Hi, I was just following back up to see if you had info on how I could edit my server files to add key master to a user? It’s still not there and I can’t find a way to add it on the WordPress dashboard. Thanks.
I have access as WP Admin and unfortunately the Keymaster role is nowhere to be found. I have database access. I can definitely manually make whatever changes are necessary. Thanks.
Okay, so the person I thought had Keymaster access either had it disappear or never had it. I am now unable to designate a keymaster. The closest forum topic I found on this was this thread:
The Keymaster
The Keymaster option does not appear in the dropdown for any user assignment settings. There is not a way for me to access BBPress settings to assign everyone to the Keymaster role. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling bbpress and the issue persisted.
How can I assign Keymaster when nobody has Keymaster status? Is there a way for me to edit a user file on my server? Thanks.
So I’ve been able to get Topics and Replies to re-appear. But I still can’t see Forums or Settings>Forums. Any idea on This? Could this still be a user settings issue?
Awesome!!! That is definitely the issue. I’ll have to have the person with key master status update my profile. Thank you so much for your help!!!!!
Correct. With 2012 activated and only bbpress plugin active I do not see Forums, Topics, Replies, or Settings>forums. Double checked all for you.
None of those show unfortunately. I had forgotten what was supposed to be in the menu at this point!
I tried both suggestions with no resolution. When I deactivated all plugins except bbpress I did not see it in the menu. I switched my theme to 2012 and it didn’t come up either.
Again, this problem began when my site was moved from my old server to a new one. Not sure if that would give you any other ideas.
Yes, the area on my wordpress dashboard for bbpress labeled as “forum” is no longer there. My forum is still there and functioning on my main page.
