Hi,

This is my first time using bbPress. I just added bbPress to one of my test sites, tweaked and did a few things, then I noticed I couldn’t add or edit forums.

As much as I can remember, this is what I did. I created a new forum and a new topic, then replied a few times. I unchecked the “Automatically give registered visitors the Participant forum role” and “Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug” checkboxes. Then I created a user with a role of Participant and signed in as that user. I don’t remember doing anything as that user other than looking around. When I signed back in as the Admin/Keymaster I couldn’t add or edit forums. I double checked the user roles and deleted bbPress and reinstalled it.

There is no way to edit a forum, the edit link is gone: http://tinyurl.com/mk2qqzz. When I try to add a new forum, it says “You are not allowed to edit this post”.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Emma

Can you try the repair tool “Remap existing users to default forum roles”

Nope, still doesn’t let me add or edit forums.

Ah, it did work. It just set all of the users to participant. Now I set the default role to Keymaster, and re- remaped existing user roles. Thanks for your help!
