    HELP.

    I am about to launch a communities site (event party in two days) and I cannot create any forum topics!!

    I get “Your account has the ability to post unrestricted HTML content.” But when i create a new topic, I get teh following error:

    “You do not have permission to create new topics”.

    I am logged in as admin even.

    Are you talking about Group Forums or site-wide forums?

    Are you aware of the bbPress support site?

    Hi Shane,

    Group forums. It appears i can create topics through the wp admin page, but no-one can reply through the front-end.

    I probably should have started in bbPress support; but last time i posted similar topics on both places, i was charged with “cross-posting”.

    Appreciate the help.

    Can you create a topic in a group forum front-end if you created the group?

    Are the Forum Attribute settings ‘Forum, Open, Public’ in wp-admin > Forums > [some forum] ?

    Did you check the settings here: /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress ?

    Are you running any plugins that affect roles / permissions / capabilities ?

    Does the same problem occur in a site-wide public forum?

    Thanks Shane. I deactivated and reactivated all plugins and that resolved the issue. Problem is I can’t tell which one caused it, as they are all reactivated and the problem no longer exists.
    Anyways, appreciate the help!
