What else have you changed? BP 1.2.6 didn’t touch anything to do with bbPress which, as always, runs as a stand-alone component. Have you tried disabling all other plugins in case it is a conflict? Are you using the two-click integrated install or an external installation of bbPress?
yes i have confirmed also this same effect with theme developer which has minimal plug-ins installed that the bp admin capabilities are also not there on his install. switching to the bp default also does not restore them. we are using the two-click integrated install.
just to be clear what’s missing cause it isn’t everything. normally in the bp adminbar a keymaster should see all of the same functions a site admin does on the front end at least. also they had the ability prior to this version to admin or see any group including hidden ones.
so no one else has noticed this problem?
