OK, switching back to the default theme allows me to change user roles. If I then switch back to my current theme a user who I’ve changed to a moderator can still moderate posts.
So I guess we’ve identified a couple of things:
1. My custom theme is broken at the point where user profiles are being edited
2. It also seems the WordPress integration is broken
Any further pointers you can give me on how to correct these would be great, thanks for all your help so far.
Basic (but as I say I have this log-out problem).
1. 1.0.2
2. Yes
3. Akismet, Allow Images, bbPress polls and Comment Quicktags for bbPress; disabling them does not fix the problem.
4. Yes, version 2.8.6. However I’ve also noticed that when I log into the blog it logs me out of WordPress, so perhaps the integration is also faulty?
No, there’s no files called “php_errorlog” or anything similar in the root directory for the forum, or any of the sub-directories for that matter.
And no, I’m not using a plugin for the user roles – I’m just trying to change someone from ‘member’ to ‘moderator’.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I can’t find any file called php_errorlog in my bbpress installation. Where is it usually stored?
OK I’ve tried changing the permalink settings and here’s what happens:
If I set them to ‘none’ – i.e. forums.php?id=1 the posts work
If I set them to ‘name based’ – i.e. /forums/first-forum/ the posts do not work
Obviously I would rather have name based if possible. Any thoughts?
No I haven’t moved the forum. The last thing I changed – which must have been a week ago or longer – was adding the following code into the .htaccess file for WordPress (not BBPress):
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('COOKIEPATH', '/');
Could that have had an effect? If so it seems odd that it took so long to manifest itself.
Thanks for the speedy response by the way
