Hey all, we’re having trouble with bbpress replies, and we can’t seem to figure out what the issue is.

Everything works fine except when a normal “subscriber” level user tries to reply to his own post in the bbpress forum. The “subscriber” level has some additional permissions that we’ve added in using the User Role editor plugin. If he tries to reply to his own post, he gets this error message:

“ERROR: You do not have permission to reply.”

He can create posts, reply to other posts, but just not his own. I’ve tested this with our test account, and the same thing happens with the test account.

We are using the User Role Editor plugin, and our developer has checked the settings but they seem to be correct.

Our next plan is to create a new role in WP, with the same capabilities as the custom “subscriber” level. Wondering if any of you have had this experience, or have suggestions for what we should try.

if you deactivate the user role editor, does the problem go away?
