I create a forum and it is seen on my forums page, no problem there.

When a forum is selected the list of topics for that forum appear with no problem.

When a topic is selected the Posts that were previously entered are not showing up?

What do I need to do to get them to show up?

As an admin I can see my own and I can see the participant posts, but the participant can’t see my posts or their own posts. They are able to see my reply to their post but still not their posts?

I have turned all plugins off and it still doesn’t work. I doubt it is a theme problem because the theme is use is also the them the website I got it from uses and they use the forum with no problem.

What could the problem be?

Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated (frustrating day)!!

Try testing with the Twenty Fourteen theme, to confirm if it is a theme issue or not.

[Micheal]

I tried the Twenty Fourteen theme and I am still having the issue.

Any other ideas?

I have tried everything I can think of.

Thanks for the help.

[Micheal]

I forgot to mention that I tried different browsers as well and have the same problem.

When a participant creates a post they can’t see there own post or that they even posted except under the topic section they can see they started it. I would give you the link to see all of this but it is in our members area.

I can send you a PM if possible with information you will need to see the issues if that helps?

Thank you.

A couple of screenshots should suffice, post a couple of screenshots and we’ll go from there.

The first image shows the forums.

This image shows the topic “Payout” previously entered by the participant.

This image shows the response but not the original entry.

These images screen shots taken from the participant being logged in.

When the participant tries to look at any other topic they don’t see what has been posted, they only see the one that Micheal replied to (just not there post that was being replied to).

Here is what Micheal sees when he is logged in:

As you can see in this image Micheal can see the original post and his own.

When Micheal is logged in he can see his own posts but when the participant tries to look at the same post they don’t see anything Micheal has posted (except his response to their post).

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

To sweeten the pot, if you can help me resolve this I will name my next born after you!!

[Stephen Edgar]

Is either the topic or reply status ‘private’ or ‘pending’?

[Micheal]

No

[Micheal]

Where would I see the pending?

The setting is on Public.

[Stephen Edgar]

If you look in the Topics and Replies you would see ‘pending’

[Micheal]

I see nothing in comments, it is empty.

I see the reply in the Replies area though.

[Stephen Edgar]

My, bad, mouse was hovering over ‘Comments’, sorry, that is the ‘Replies’ section.

So do you see ‘private’ or ‘pending’ in the ‘replies’ or ‘topics’ panels as above?

[Micheal]

No ,there is no private or pending like on your screen.

[Micheal]

I am still puzzled where the posts are, I thought there would be an area like the comments or replies for that.

[Stephen Edgar]

– Do you have ‘Auto Role’ checked and what role is it set to? (Dashboard -> Settings -> bbPress)

[Stephen Edgar]

I am still puzzled where the posts are, I thought there would be an area like the comments or replies for that.

This statement here confuses me… You should see Forums, Topics, and Replies sections like I have in my previous screenshot. All the ‘posts’ should show here, you only see the title of the post and not the full content until you open it with the ‘edit’ row action (mouse over a title).

Are you not seeing your topics or replies in each section?

[Micheal]

Yes.

Auto role Automatically give registered visitors the “participant” forum role

[Stephen Edgar]

Have you run the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” repair tool? If not, do so.

Any change?

Edit: And answers to my previous question please 🙂

YES, I do.

Here is Topics screen shot.

[Micheal]

Just ran the tool and only selected the “Remap existing users to default forum roles” box and pressed repair items button, still not fixed.

[Stephen Edgar]

I’ve got nothing else at the moment…

Let me think on it for a bit…

I also presume you still have all your plugins except bbPress deactivated?

Also what theme is it you are using?

Have you any custom code in a functions.php file running?

[Micheal]

Are you not seeing your topics or replies in each section?

Refer to my screen shots before to make sure I am not getting confused to what you are asking here.

For the one I referenced the participant did this:
Forum(General Questions)>Topic(Payout)>

When they go there they see the response to what they entered earlier but they don’t see what they posted earlier.

What is odd though is when I go to the same page I see her original post and my response to her question. She doesn’t see that though, she just sees my response.

This is what she sees as a Participant:

This is what I see as Admin:

[Micheal]

I also presume you still have all your plugins except bbPress deactivated? YES, I turn them off when trying everything.

Also what theme is it you are using? http://themeforest.net/item/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4519990?ref=Kriesi

Have you any custom code in a functions.php file running? NO

[Stephen Edgar]

Ok, that, still with you….

Can you please post two new screenshots are the same two you just posted for the Forum(General Questions)>Topic(Payout) though using the Twenty Fourteen theme.

[Micheal]

I think I have it narrowed down to the s2Member Plugin causing an authority level issue, that is why I can see everything but she couldn’t.

I thought I had that plugin off but it was the only one I missed.

Now I have to figure out how to make the adjustment where I need to to get the participant to see it.
