Thanks @jugoretz

I can also confirm that updating to WP 4.0 didn’t resolve the issue described above. Any thoughts on how to fix this issue while we wait for the next bbPress update?

Thanks for chiming in @jugoretz

I’m still seeing this issue. I’m going to update to WP 4.0 this weekend. Hopefully that resolves this permission issue. At this point my only choice is to network activate if I want individual site admins to have access to forums, and activating network wide causes quite a lot of confusion and is unnecessary for our purposes.

Thanks!

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for responding! I actually updated from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4. Before I updated, I could just activate bbpress on a site-by-site basis on the multisite network and folks could use it just on their particular site. When I updated from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4, they could activate it on their site and I could see Forums, Topics, Replies but they couldn’t. I tested with the various roles and only Network Admin could see the menu items Forums, Topics, Replies. However, the actual forums were there and if I sent the site admin or site editor, etc., a direct link to the site forum, then could access it. It’s just the menu item visibility that’s the problem.

Thanks!
