I can’t get bbpress to work.

I’ve uploaded bbpress to my plugins directory.

After I click on “activate” in the Plugins list, I get this message:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

I’m logged in as the main Administrator (since there is only 1 user right now)

What am I doing wrong?

Same thing just happened to me! What’s going on? Everything was fine and I have been loading various discussions in the forums and now this happened….

@dani-girl, I got it to work! Whew!

I did a lot of different things, including installing an older version of bbPress, but I don’t know if that matters. Actually, it probably does, because I was then able to see the forums on the backend again.

What did seem to make a difference was downloading the Members Plugin and changing the roles for Administrator. A bunch of them were not checked, including the role of a Participant. I checked everything and was able to post again.

I hope that it doesn’t do this again. A major pain!
