@bobbingwide
One thing we have to do on the forum is update our user display names to something new which helps kick the profile topic tracking into life.
edit// Scrub above you’re already an active participant I see looking at your profile.
Having a look to see what your user capability status is…
@bobbingwide Existing user accounts should have edit capability, it was only newer accounts where we needed to manage the spam activity, so if you could try editing a page and let us know if you are having issues.
@hnla you need to add the user as an editor in wp-admin
@djpaul yes aware of that but we only changed things for new users from a point in time forwards, existing users retained their editing role e.g ‘bobbingwide’ who has had existing account fora few years.
@hnla — “bobbingwide” is not listed on the codex.bp.org/wp-admin/users.php page. 🙂
@djpaul nope it isn’t that is one of the dilemmas, it’s a display name rather than user name? Regardless @bobbingwide as your account pre-dates or should pre-date the codex user capability changes you should be able to edit/create pages, can you confirm one way or another?
Hi Hugo, I created bobbingwide and herbmiller on wordpress.org on 21st Dec 2010.
My other ID, vsgloik came later, on 30th Apr 2012.
For each account I can see the Create New Page link, but it leads to You attempted to access the "BuddyPress Codex" dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site. etc
The Visit Dashboard link tells me You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
This smacks very much of WordPress TRAC 29714, a duplicate of 22895.
Not a bug, Hugo just didn’t grant you access. I’ve given bobbingwide editor permission on codex.buddypress.org, @herbmiller — thanks for contributing. 🙂
Hugo wasn’t able to grant access, hugo is meant to be able to 😉
haha, @hnla <3 the side effect of wp’s teaser:
One central account.
One unified admin area.
One click install.
… how long whould it take to finally repair & make this forum and codex pages to work correctly, with a clear admin ?
2008 – BuddyPress is born.
2015 – shoemaker’s son always goes barefoot !
Hi, Paul n Hugo thanks for that. Just to confirm that I’ve removed the offending apostrophe.
