Can’t add additional tags to post
-
When I try adding tags to a post, I get a “You don’t have permission to do that” message and the tags don’t appear.
I’m using 8.3 with just the integration plugins to WP 2.3 (no includes). I tried adding tags to a post I’d already saved without tags. The first one worked fine, but I couldn’t add additional tags, I’d get a “You don’t have permission to do that” message. I was logged in as a Key Master and had posted the original item as the same user.

It seems to be a user thing. I’d been posting from a user that’d been established in WordPress. I updated it to Key Master in bbPress, so it should have all powers. But I found that, apart from tags, I couldn’t delete a post either, same no permission message (same as noted by Jolaedana above). So I logged out and logged in as Superadmin, the default account from bbPress installation, and voila, I can do everything, add tags, delete posts.
That doesn’t solve the problem. I haven’t tested to see what happens with other users, both already registered from WP and registered through bbPress. But it’s a workaround for me, and a…clue.
Tracked down the problem in Use Display Name. Basically, it’s a bit overzealous in replacing the user name with the display name throughout the code… including for a function that’s used to check for capabilities. Since the name doesn’t match, the capability check fails.
Quick partial fix: comment out the following line in display-name.php:
// add_filter( ‘get_user_name’, ‘bb_use_display_name’, 1, 2 );
The Display Name will now be used instead of the User Name in some places, but not in others.
A more complete fix:
1. In display-name.php, replace:
add_filter( ‘get_user_name’, ‘bb_use_display_name’, 1, 2 );
WITH
add_filter( ‘get_display_name’, ‘bb_use_display_name’, 1, 2 );
2. In template-functions.php, add the following function:
function get_display_name( $id = 0 ) {
$user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $id ) );
return apply_filters( ‘get_display_name’, $user->user_login, $user->ID );
}
3. In template-functions.php, find function bb_get_title(), replace the call to get_user_name() with get_display_name()
4. In template-functions.php, find function get_full_user_link(), replace both calls to get_user_name() with get_display_name()
5. In profile.php, replace the call to get_user_name() with get_display_name()
Enjoy
